I detect a sense of freedom in everything you say.
I’ll be on my best behaviour & you’ll be on your way.
What do we have to work with here, when everything won’t stay?
Something’s got to happen soon I haven’t got all day.
& I guess I only dream of one,
I suppose that’s you, you’ll have to stay.
Running after those who beat & battered down your hell,
You go find the rest of them & Ill go find myself.
You try to put a little twist on what we know was said.
Something’s got to happen soon we’ve been so far mislead.
Anytime is now a bad time,
& there’s something tangled up in everything we prove.
Salvation never seemed so far from now.
Got me thinking that there’s nothing else to do.
As we walk over the dead.
& when you’ve run dry of places to run.
Just for you I’ll look away.

All of us, we can make an etch in time right here.
Lets breathe some life into the past & make it live again.
Recycled for our destiny, a destiny that we can feel.
& whose to say that everything we see,
it’s just another in a righteous line of glory.
In terror trampling the weak, screaming as they flee.
But in my dreams I am not there, lucky fucking me.
I can see us in a future,
& if there’s not point in us two leaving or making promises.
The lines are clearly on our features,
& we can own it once it’s there, we can keep it.

Sometimes it’s harder to forget than to forgive.
If life was just a perfect square who’d want to live in it?
If I awake from an unfinished dream does it carry on without me?
Or does it die just like my memory of it?
And if we cant see things the same.
So little must the future hold, for us.
We can’t see through the glazing of our own eyes, of our own minds.
And what will we become?
Exactly what we’re meant to be.
And if you ask yourself in honesty you’ve never shown.
Would you find it in yourself to turn the knife upon us?
But when the truth comes to surface.
You will turn the knife upon yourself and
Anyone that’s standing in your way.
It would be tomorrow, if we could answer to ourselves, and not to you.

This Illusion UK
This Illusion is made up of two beings from different planets who met during the last inter-galactic
war.
They currently exist as guns for hire, trying to bring justice to the moral disintegration of the Lambrini System.
If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...This Illusion.
