I focus upon this Considered real and true Within time Fixed it seems in form and space This dream is so real, as I participate From experienced reality there is no escape I interact in illusive reflections Internal mind perceptions Embracing illusions Believing what I am shown The veil of illusions Pretending to be what's real ♪ Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me Nothing is what it seems to be The eyes perform a complex trickery Decoding numbers into imagery Embracing illusions Believing what I am shown The veil of illusions Pretending to be what's real I touch only shadows What I see is not real Lost in mere appearance What I hear is false I can feel the sorrow Blinding all of this world Tear the veil to pieces And slip through the shreds ♪ Should I close my eyes and depart End the beating of the heart Would I not wake from a lifelong dream Exposing the grandest of schemes Embracing illusions Believing what I am shown The veil of illusions Pretending to be what's real I touch only shadows What I see is not real Lost in mere appearance What I hear is false I can feel the sorrow Blinding all of this world Tear the veil to pieces And slip through the shreds Embracing illusions The veil of illusions I touch only shadows What I see is not real Lost in mere appearance What I hear is false
