Your Illusions

My body is waking, from this silence created by your Deadly Alliance. What's going on? My brain seems gone, so far away to a place my mind won't even play. I can't feel my feet, it's getting too deep, I've got to find my way back to where my body reacts. Something inside, opens my eyes, clinging to my heart desperately searching for this picture of art. It seems so perfect to me, the way it should be, with all the colors of life blended together so nice. Beginning to end, I can't find a friend, sitting at home I keep waiting but I'm still alone. You really don't care. so I'm left to bear, the words that you said and the illusions you put inside of my head.
