Houdini

Chains are not what you expect them to be.
I looked for the truth to set me free.
Chains are not what you expect them to be.
I looked for the truth to set you free, my love.

Years go by like a prophet in songs,
they shake your hand and say "don't let us go".
My body, my mind they can play tricks sometimes
but I'm a free man, in a world of disguise.

Take my word and believe what you see.
I am no pretender and I never surrender.
Take my word and believe what you feel.
I am no pretender, I am no pretender.

Some people are born with a thorn in their side.
They shake their heads and say: "You won't stay alive".
Some people are born with a hole in their soul.
They look at you and you let it go.

Love's a cure, more often a pain,
but I can't get enough of this summer rain.
These chains are breaking but this heart's made of ice
and I cannot look into your eyes.

Take my word and believe what you see.
I am no pretender and I never surrender.
Take my word and believe what you feel.
I am no pretender, I am no pretender.
