Illusions

I can't steer away from the tragedy before me

It's burning luminescence holds my eye

I can not understand it, you are so disenchanted

In your shadow of a life

I hold this one truth to myself: To never forget where I have come from

Your lies beguile us all, but there's still a chance to change

You must forsake the facade, and realise just who you are



For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness)

Your closing eyes, sink into darkness



You've turned your back on what you believe

For the sake of walking through a dream

Your startling contradictions

All derive from your life's own fictions

Illusions give you all the pride

That you need to deal with what's inside

But you'll never wipe the tears from your eyes

Because your living a selfish lie



I hold this one truth to myself

To never forget where I have come from

Your lies beguile us all, but there's still a chance to change

You must forsake the facade, and realise just who you are



For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness)

Your closing eyes, sink into darkness (darkness)



We're so determined to blaze our own trail

That we forget who we are and we cover ourselves in lies

But I will not, for I have sovereignty

In the eyes of those who may judge me

I will overcome



For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness)

Your closing eyes, sink into darkness (darkness)
