Only An Illusion

THESE STREETS TAKE ME

TO MY DARKEST HOURS

EVERY BUS STOPS SEEMS

LIKE WHERE WE USED TO FOOL AROUND

HIDING FROM THE RAIN 

WARM OCTOBER RAIN 

BELOW THE SCAFFOLD TOWERS

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

 

SOUR WERE THE STAINS ON THE TAXI SEAT, 

SCOURING AT THE HOTEL BUILT ON TOP OF WHERE WE USED TO DRINK

TIMES THE SWEETEST CURE BUT IT DON'T FEEL THAT LONG AGO

THAT WE WERE UNDERNEATH

LOADED LINEN SHEETS

NOW YOU'RE CALLING SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME

WHILE I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

 

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION

 

PAWNED ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS

THE MASTERS WAY TO PART

I KEPT A FEW REMINDERS

BUT THE PAIN IS IN THE PAST

I SUNK IN MY SEAT

KISSING BOTH YOUR FEET

LEARNING HOW TO THINK

LEARNING HOW TO DRINK

STILL BE PLAYING DUMB

STILL BE GETTING DRUNK

CAN YOU REMEMBER MUCH?

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

 

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION

 

I SAW THE FUTURE FROM YOUR FALCON

AND IT TURNED THE ENGINE QUIET

SURREAL BECAME SECURE

AS THE WINDSCREEN TURNED TO WHITE

 

THE CLOUDS WERE CREEPING IN

AS WE REACHED THE HIGHEST PEAK

POINTING OUT THE CARGO SHIPS 

LIKE PIRATES ON THE SEAS

 

TREMBLING WERE YOUR THIGHS

AS WE TRIED TO BE QUIET

GRASS PAINTED PRETTY LITTLE PATTERNS 

ALL UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK

I REMEMBER THAT

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

 

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION

ALL OUR LOVE, IT'S ONLY AN ILLUSION
