You confessed one day to have been a snake and deceiver
But when your moment came, to shed that skin
You just slithered away
You just slithered away meaning  byFerretRock Pretty sure "Smoke and Mirrors" is about visual artist Cam De Leon. This is the "friend" that sued Tool and kept them tied up in court for 8+ years, the reason⦠See all
Crystal clear to us all, when you say "We all want the same thing"
That you don't, you want the bigger piece and the praise

What your smoke is concealing
Just a trail of bones, atop a lemming's hill
All fallen prey
All fallen prey
All fallen prey

Just a snake, and a liar

No more, we all see
Now the mirror is broken, we all know what your spell was concealing
Just hollow eyes, a stolen crown but
Not a king
No, not a king
No, not a king
