Behind the Curtain

Looking all too familiar,,,the images you use,
It's your area of expertise its how you examplify you,
I already saw these bags of tricks,
You can only fool the ones who haven't seen everything,
The oohs and ahhs of the crowd draws them in,
Until they eventually figure out the tricks are fixed,
So, I'll hand you a new bag, behind the curtain,
And the contents inside will be unlike anything you've usen,
When you try to figure them out, you won't understand,
Because there's nothing to figure out, you'll have the truth in your hands,
Your so used to trying to put the pieces together,
Instead of accepting the piece as just part of the weather,
Touching your heart so quickly, you forget your bag of tricks,
The old had become brand new to be able to see all of this.
