You peeled an orange that wasn't there
Ate it slow, like you didn't care
If I believed you or not at all
"Forget it isn't there," you said "that's all"
I watched your hands move through the air
Watched you swallow somethin' made of nothin'
I laughed, but my chest went quiet
Like I'd just watched you disappear a little
It's a pantomime you made me believe
In somethin' that was never there
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime, and I'm lost in the air
And maybe that's all I am to you
Somethin' you imagine into bein'
Somethin' you can make disappear
As easy as you made it appear
Now every room I walk into
I check if somebody's holdin' fruit
You said just forget it exists
And I forgot, I forgot, I forgot
It's a pantomime you made me believe
In somethin' that was never there
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime, and I'm lost in the air
The trick was never the orange
The trick was watchin' me want it
You took nothin' and made it somethin'
Then you left, and took the nothin' with you
It's a pantomime you made me believe
Now I can't tell what's real, what isn't
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime and I'm still in it
