Illusions

.

I can't steer away from the tragedy before me,

Its 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 realize just who you are

.

For what you've done,

you've faded to 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 you're 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 realize just who you are

.

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

Your closing eyes, sink into 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

Your closing eyes, sink into darkness
