The Illusionist - Storm The Sky

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 but now it’s gone

And my existence 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 sky

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 its 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.

You didn’t try!

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

At the end of a life, all we ever do is reach for the sky

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 fucking 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?
