Illusion & Dream lyrics

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,

Cos 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

That the images they sell are illusion & 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 & 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,

Cos 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

That the images they sell are illusion & dream

In other words dishonesty
