Lyrics to Complicated Illusions
On a street of old bones
Dust masquerades as skin
Time turns itself to stone
Nothing left to lose and nothing left to win
Desires to break and deconstruct
I defend the middle ground
Every battle I’ve ever fought
Has either been lost or bought
And in the rhythm of your voice
I find space to rejoice
My complicated illusions
Leave me with no choice
Even the answers that I dream
Are riddled with doubt and holes
Illusions are complicated
Redacted and retold
And in the rhythm of your voice
I find space to rejoice
My complicated illusions
Leave me with no choice
And in the margins of the page
Truth hides but leaves a trace
My complicated illusions
Are now no more than faith
Dust masquerades as skin
Time turns itself to stone
Nothing left to lose and nothing left to win
Desires to break and deconstruct
I defend the middle ground
Every battle I’ve ever fought
Has either been lost or bought
And in the rhythm of your voice
I find space to rejoice
My complicated illusions
Leave me with no choice
Even the answers that I dream
Are riddled with doubt and holes
Illusions are complicated
Redacted and retold
And in the rhythm of your voice
I find space to rejoice
My complicated illusions
Leave me with no choice
And in the margins of the page
Truth hides but leaves a trace
My complicated illusions
Are now no more than faith
