Illusions

It was so long ago I can’t remember anymore
Is this reality or am I losing my mind?
It seems like nothing ever changes (ever changes)
Feels like this city’s staring back at me

We’re trapped in this steel cage, we cannot escape
We’re stuck in this cycle, we do not embrace
We’re trapped in this steel cage, we cannot escape
We’re stuck in this cycle, we do not embrace

Bring me closer to your eyes
Watch me fade from existence
Slowly you will realize
That reality is the illusion

Take a good look you’ll realize (realize)
We’re machines set to slave away
Crushed by the burdens of society
We place our hopes in thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers
Only to realize that we’re all alone
Fucking realize, we’re all alone

Bring me closer to your eyes
Watch me fade from existence
Slowly you will realize
That reality is the illusion

Bring me closer to your eyes
Watch me fade from existence
Slowly you will realize
That reality is the illusion

Fall on your knees and soak in the pain
You’re just a pawn, a pawn in this game
You won’t amount to anything
This is the fate that we have to accept
Only to realize that we’re all alone, all alone
Seems like nothing ever changes
Feels like this city’s staring back at me

Bring me closer to your eyes
Watch me fade from existence
Slowly you will realize
That reality is the illusion

Bring me closer to your eyes
Watch me fade from existence
Slowly you will realize
That reality is the illusion
