Lyrics

I Am An Illusion

I’m just the worst kind of ass who won’t atone for his crimes
I know not what I do, I pay my actions no mind
I never bother to ask, I just up and cross the line
I should be taken to task but I’m not worth it to find

I am an illusion, my self a collusion
Of past and future bones, colliding just to distract
Freedom from occlusion Begins with refusin’
To think there ever was or could be a lack

I mopped the floor with regret, I refuse to apologize
Spent all my money on beer, spent all my beer on time
There’s not a reason to live, quit playin’ tricks with your mind
I’m just a fool like you, riding this bus to the end of the line

I am an illusion, my self a collusion
Of past and future bones, colliding just to distract
Freedom from occlusion Begins with the refusin’
To think there ever was or could be a lack

I resist all manner of truth in exchange for moments of delight
I tried to hold on to love, but I held on too tight
Flailing I missed the point, begging the arms of night
Not yet absolved, in Debt, naked in confession’s light

I am an illusion, my self a collusion
Of past and future bones, colliding just to distract
Freedom from occlusion Begins with refusin’
To think there ever was or could be a lack
