Bruises on My Illusions

[Verse 1]

Lying on my back, I'm listening to the police sirens

Sounds like lullabies in the soft twilight

Had a drop in the club but I wasn't making me much money

Fighting off the gods and monsters every night

[Chorus]

Now I've bruises on all my illusions

Bruises on all of my dreams

[Verse 2]

Playing all the games, taking all the names, they call me (Call me)

Just another lost soul alone in the city of night

Don't have any money and have nothing to sell but my soul now (Soul now)

But the pain reminds me that I'm still up for the fight

When every day is coloured in Soviet greys of sorrow

I'll hold onto my blues 'cause they'll only come back tomorrow

[Chorus]

Now I've bruises on all my illusions

Bruises on all of my dreams

[Verse 3]

Gotta wake up, get a hold of my bed, and get out now

Dressing to look my best or I'm not going far

I've learned by now the world's not gonna give me a living

Got a movie going on in my head where I'm the star

[Chorus]

Now I've bruises on all my illusions

Bruises on all of my dreams

But time will heal all of my bruises

And dreams can become reality

[Bridge]

(Bruises)

(Bruises)

Bruises on all my illusions

Bruises on all my illusions

[Verse 4]

But I just didn't make the final cut

It starts with a yes but ends with a but

Sometimes I've wondered just what is the point of living? (Living)

So here I am, lying on my bed, getting lost in my dream

And now those sirens feel like they're coming for me

And now those sirens feel like they're coming for me

And now those sirens feel like they're coming for me

[Chorus]

Now I've bruises on all my illusions

Bruises on all of my dreams

But time will heal all of my bruises

All my dreams can become reality
