Illusion And Dream

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  needs  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  oh

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,  humour  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,  oh

it's  whatever  makes  you  see,  makes  you  believe

and  forget  about  the  premonition  you  need  to  conceive

the  images  they  sell  are  illusion  &  dream

in  other  words  dishonesty

so  can  you  name  your  demon?

understand  it's  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  glass  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  oh

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  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
