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.

Its time for us to change,
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
You can’t see yourself, twenty years from now.
The visions that you had,
The path that you have beaten down.
I don’t care what you see.
Because I’ve seen that justice deserts us.
They try to cry out, despite the gagging of their faces.
And we watch on.
Compelled to make the change.
Before us lies the truth, the truth that we’ve been searching for.
So how did it take so long?
For it to appear and will it eat us alive?

Go re-assign yourself,
So you wont feel the impact
So find, tear down, all that which you have run from.
We found, your way, it’s body falls beneath me.
So do you heed the warning, from mind of heart?

Why should I feel sad?
And short of pulling tears straight out my face.
There’s nothing here for me to do.
And pressured into feeling,
The way that I am feeling, something’s going to give quite soon.
If you were to remove, the brave face that you put on it.
Beneath is the expression that’s defining your soul.
A memory that you kept for me,
So I would find my way.
Look up.
Look forward, for looking back has kept you here.
And now you’re without wings,
Grounded like you never flew at all.
The times I’ve gazed upon, the pictures that you drew.
Something kept me standing there,
Staring like I never knew you.
You have my sympathy, my horror and respect.
But nothing’s going to hold us down right now.
And what we have is something that is stronger than us all.

After the Rain

Now you’re here to take what little I have left.
Is this something I’ve deserved or something I’ve run into?
And once you have me trapped inside the mouth of this illusion.
Taking back the words I never should,
But that did little good.
And now I stand here, with what I was left with, turning my anger away.
Your confessions fall on deaf ears now.
And who are you?
But who am I?
Just another digit making up the queue,
We wait for possibility.
Tearing gently from the path, so you could hear me.
Taking back the words I never should,
But that did little good.

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.
