Lyrics

Black Illusion

You load the dice and paint The smile upon your face With fingers crossed you switch The perfume with the mace What kind of dreams to you Enjoy inside your bed I'll face the lies and shake The evil from your head Black Illusion Is all I ever see Black Illusion I bring you misery oh yeah yeah You always seem to know The answer to it all You seem to cheat the truth And never take the fall Your life is hollow and You simplify the rules The time will come when you Will join the other fools Black Illusion Is all I ever see Black Illusion I bring you misery oh yeah yeah I load the dice and fake A smile upon my face With fingers crossed I switch The perfume with the mace What kind of dreams do I enjoy inside my bed You'll face the lies and Shake the evil from my head Black Illusion Is all I ever see Black Illusion I bring you misery oh yeah yeah
