about

Illusions - Love is all there is.

lyrics

Illusions

She wore a diamond ring, as a token, to her independence
waiting for freedoms wings once more
Alone on a path of thorns
No hesitation
Attempt to fly
Grounded by the wounds
Content to march on

Don't you ever wonder what keeps you under
your guard
you're substituting
your illusions for love

She filters rainbows, moving mountains in her mind
waiting for the rain to wash away the pain
Looking through one window
from which she sees possibilities
blinded and confused
Content to march on

Don't you ever wonder what keeps you under
your guard
you're substituting
your illusions for love

Bridge

Raised on words and thoughts of shame
She raised her voice and she was blamed
You rub my face in your disease
It feels out of place while I beg
For what I need
Why should I beg, for what I need


She spent most of lifetime
full of anger
full of pride
rejecting the bounty
on her heart

Don't you ever wonder
What keeps you under your guard
You're substituting your illusions for love
