Illusions and Wings

I craved denial to inspire illusion To tell you what to see And all my words built the grand delusion To feed the chaos that’s in me I craved the fear that mistakes my wisdom To balance out my guilt I wanted so much to be without decision But then my love began to wilt I fell down in search of rapture Then my loneliness grew eyes And in search of loss I found the answer It’s all so simple without the lies I left the spells on a spiral stairwell And watched them wind away As I took flight and circled up out of my hell I finally found the day Fervent wings hidden under their eyelids The ones that still survive One act of faith can cleanse the dark things that I did As long as I remember what’s inside
