Sfavw-pure illusion

Album: Songs from a Vanishing World

Track title: Pure Illusion

Track number: 10

Lyrics:

In all extremes I seem to see

Through what I own

Or do they own me?

Or do I live in fear of what I want

Afraid to see just what I've got?

I know sometimes I get confused

About what is need and what I choose

A little thing prehaprs to you

But it governs me and what I do

It's really not a mystery

Why all these thoughts they follow me

Across the face of every child

Is accompanied by flawless doubt

That there's something wrong

There's something gone

There's something there that does not belong

So what are we still hiding?

What are we still hiding from?

All thes years I thought I owned what is real

Don't you know it's pure illusion?

It's pure iollusion I wonder what they will find

When our kingdom rots beneath the ground?

A monument that fell away

A testament of our decay

As they cycle will contain itself

A lifetime spent accruing wealth

Why can't I take it with me?

Why can't I take it when I'm gone?

All these years I thought I owned what is real

Don't you know it's pure illusion

It's pure illusion

(Let it go)

Don't you know it's pure illusion?

It's pure illusion

So take us to the edge

And cast off selfishness instead

Don't be afraid to do without

Just raise your hands and begin to shout

Burn your money!

End these wars!

Stop the pain!

Tear down these walls!

Give us what we want to see

A world without hypocrisy

I've spent so long letting go

Just let it go...
