	I wish that I could read your mind 'cause I'm so tired of what's in mine It's the same old story And it's getting boring I'm stuck inside this box you made Waiting to be cut in half with your blade And the crowd's ecstatic So why are you panicked? You're a charlatan with everything to lose Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move Open your third eye and look at what you've done Cut your heart out in front of everyone The whole world thinks you're so sublime Bending spoons with your beautiful mind But a black cat told me 'bout your gross skulduggery You're a charlatan with everything to lose Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move Open your third eye and look at what you've done Cut your heart out in front of everyone And karma's a witch, and she's coming for you Grab all your lucky charms, say a prayer or two Your smoke and mirrors won't save you tonight Too bad you can't disappear without a fight You're a charlatan with everything to lose Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move Open your third eye and look at what you've done Cut your heart out in front of everyone
