Illusion And Dream

Poets Of The Fall · Signs of Life [2005]

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

The images they sell are illusion and 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 and 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

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
