Lyrics for The First Sight

Only smoke and mirrors, they deceive and they lie False flags are raised, playing tricks with my mind One day I'll rise to the clearest light of the sun To simpler ways I'll return I'll return Will I ever get to see, will I ever get to see The first sight of a heart that's true? If I ever deserve, if I ever deserve The first sight of a real breakthrough Through the vale of sadness I have wandered the years Been lost in distance as the days disappear All things will pass, it's just the way it's always been planned Blow by blow I withstand I withstand Will I ever get to see, will I ever get to see The first sight of a heart that's true? If I ever deserve, if I ever deserve The first sight, so perfectly new? If I ever get to see, if I ever get to see The first sight of a heart so true Will I ever deserve, will I ever deserve The first sight of a real breakthrough?
