The Illusionist Lyrics

For once in your life
Forget the faithless
Reach for the dreams that you're chasing
And take them
For once in your life
Forget the faithless
Reach for the dreams that you're chasing
And take them

I'm running from reality
Because I've had it so easy
All that I've needed has been given to me
And now it's gone

And my existance needs meaning
I just don't want to spend
The rest of my life avoiding death
The rest of my life knowing nothing is left

You'll find me sifting through the lies
Sifting through misguided
Thoughts of my false accomplishments
And I'll slave for the rest of my days
Until I get the life I so desperately crave

At the end of a life
All we ever do is reach for the skies
We beg for the chance to fix our scars
But we're no more alive than the stars

I'll find the strength to run away from the laws of light
Those dark eyes, white lies
Are much better off in our minds
This is the world with it's fragile frame
You'll try, oh you'll try
To break free from the shame of your failure
The only failure you have in your life is that you didn't try
You didn't try at all

How can you not see the clouds up above me
Are making it hard to breathe
There's nothing but silence
As we look to the stars

There is no picture perfect life
No chance in a world where we kill to survive
There is no picture perfect life
Just the brush strokes of hope
For a world where we kill to survive

For once in your life
Forget the faithless
And reach for the dreams that you're chasing
And take them
And take them
At the end of a life
All we ever do is reach for the skies
We beg for the chance to fix our scars
But we're no more alive than the stars

I'll find the strength to run away from the laws of light
Those dark eyes, white lies
Are much better off in our minds

This isn't a f****** game
You told me lie down, quit now
Just to save yourself some face

That's fine, throw away your precious life
You let your dreams die
But I'm living mine

And if the world gave you nothing
Would you live for yourself?

Would you live for yourself?
