Lied to, lied about, or lying to yourself? Are you the victim or villain? Maybe you're both? When the leading showgirl is in love with the star magician and something goes wrong, who is to blame? As ego and desire of different performers collide, who will win and get to remain on stage? Is it the charming magician that gets to keep his hands clean, despite his actions being the catalyst of the failed magic trick? Or is it the leading showgirl who is trying to find her new place after her heart is broken? With multiple sides to every story, sometimes silence is the loudest answer (or a song...)
Introducing, "Looking Like the Liar" by Reese Oliveira - a new song about heartbreak, betrayal, and being framed to look like the liar.
Lyrics:
You had me fooled from the start
I thought I knew who you were
I walked right into your trap
You built a castle on sand
It collapsed on command
You were a true magician
I fell for your illusion
Now I'm wandering in the dark
Ripped out my beating heart
Then dropped it in my hands
So I looked crazy from the start
All I did was keep the peace
Tryin' to mend your broken scars
Now I'm left putting out your fire
Framed, broken, and defeated
Hiding how I was mistreated
Now I'm left here
Looking like the liar
You lured me in with your talk
Painted a silver rose
And when I started to fall
You left silent when I called
Left me up against the wall
You were a true magician
I fell for your illusion
Now I'm wandering in the dark
Ripped out my beating heart
Then dropped it in my hands
So I looked crazy from the start
All I did was keep the peace
Tryin' to mend your broken scars
Now I'm left putting out your fire
Framed, broken, and defeated
Hiding how I was mistreated
Now I'm left here
Looking like the liar
By the time I knew where we stood it was all too late (it was all too late)
You left the bullet
Left the gun
Sirens wailing
The crowds all came
My hands painted red
Now I'm three rings in a circus
All eyes left on me instead
You were a true magician
I fell for your illusion
Now I'm wandering in the dark
Ripped out my beating heart
Then dropped it in my hands
So I looked crazy from the start
All I did was keep the peace
Tryin' to mend your broken scars
Now I'm left putting out your fire
Framed, broken, and defeated
Hiding how I was mistreated
Now I'm left here
Looking like the liar
Looking like the liar
Oooooohhhhhh
You had me fooled from the start
I thought I knew who you were
Now I'm left here
Looking like
