Veil Of Illusions

I focus upon this 
Considered real and true 
Within time, fixed it seems in form and space 

The dream is so real, as I participate 
From experienced reality there is no escape 
I interact in illusive reflections 
Internal mind perceptions 

Embracing illusions 
Believing what I am shown 
The veil of illusions 
Pretending to be what is real 

Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me 
Nothing is what it seems to be 
The eyes perform a complex trickery 
Decoding numbers into imagery 

Embracing illusions 
Believing what I am shown 
The veil of illusions 
Pretending to be what is real 

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real 
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false 
I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world 
Tear the veil to pieces 
And slip through the shreds 

Solo: Per 

Should I close my eyes and depart 
End the beating of the heart 
Would I not wake from a lifelong dream 
Exposing the grandest of schemes 

Embracing illusions 
Believing what I am shown 
The veil of illusions 
Pretending to be what is real 

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real 
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false 
I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world 
Tear the veil to pieces 
And slip through the shreds 

Embracing illusions 
The veil of illusions 
I touch only shadows, what I see is not real 
Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false
