Lyrics
Illusion & Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look in my eyes I'll make you see
We're drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe
Hear them sing their songs off key
N' nod like they agree
Buying the need to be discreet
I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out
Out of my mind
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
The images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words dishonesty
If I speak ill, please, humor me
Won't rant on endlessly
Just thought I'd try to make you see
It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if
You're still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words dishonesty
So can you name your demon?
Understand its scheming
I raise my glass and say: Here's to you
Can you chase your demon?
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my class and say: Here's to you
I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out
Out of my mind
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
The images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words dishonesty
So, whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
The images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words dishonesty
With silence, comes peace
With peace, comes freedom
With freedom, comes silence
