Illusions


Shadows creep closer  

Draw a breath in 

For me to sink in my mind 

For the nightmare to begin 

Chase me into comfort  

Trick me into your arms 

You know that's how I learn 

But hey

That's how I live 

Just don't shake me awake  

Keep these eyes closed shut 

I can't face the life I lead anymore 

Let's just keep up the tricks  

Just keep up the illusion 

To make it to another day
