Illusions
Unveiling Deceptive Dreams: Illusions by Melanie Pierce
Lyrics
I thought I figured it out
I believed I understood the situation
Wide eyed, I mapped it out
With great anticipation, I planned it out
But you say I'm too difficult
However, you claim I'm too challenging
Honey I know, honey I know
Acknowledging your opinion
I tried to pull back
I attempted to restrain myself
Quiet the noise inside my head
Suppressing the inner turmoil
But you say it's too difficult
Yet, you assert it's too complicated
Honey I know, honey I know
Reaffirming awareness of your view
I'll never let this go
I am determined not to forget this
I wanted so bad to believe these illusions in my head were the real thing
Desiring intensely to believe my mental constructs were reality
Painted words on paper thin walls
Expressing thoughts on fragile barriers
You didn't even know who I was
You remained unaware of my true self
You didn't even know who I was
Repetition emphasizing lack of recognition
You didn't even know who I was
Emphasizing your unfamiliarity with me
I saw your eyes telling lies
Observing deception in your gaze
Beautiful stories at bad times
Beautiful tales told during difficult moments
And maybe there was a part of me
Admitting a part of me knew the wrongdoing all along
That knew all along that this was wrong
Revelation of internal conflict
I'll never let this go
Commitment to not forget
I wanted so bad to believe these illusions in my head were the real thing
Intense desire for illusions to be real
Painted words on paper thin walls
Describing deceptive words on fragile barriers
You didn't even know who I was
Highlighting your lack of understanding
You didn't even know who I was
Reiteration of your lack of knowledge about me
You didn't even know who I was
Emphasizing your unfamiliarity with me
If I open my eyes will I wake up
Questioning if facing reality will bring awakening
If I throw up tonight will that make up
Contemplating if expressing frustration will compensate
For all of the lies that you fed me
Addressing the repeated lies fed to me
Over and over
Highlighting the repetitive nature of deception
Over and over again
Emphasizing the recurrence of deception
I want to wake up
Expressing the desire to break free
Why can't I wake up
Questioning the inability to escape
Please let me wake up
Pleading for release from the illusions
I want to wake up
Expressing the persistent desire to awaken
Why can't I wake up
Questioning the ongoing inability to awaken
Please let me wake up
Repeating the plea for release from illusions
I wanted so bad to believe these illusions in my head were the real thing
Intense desire for illusions to be real
Painted words on paper thin walls
Describing deceptive words on fragile barriers
You didn't even know who I was
Highlighting your lack of understanding
You didn't even know who I was
Reiteration of your lack of knowledge about me
You didn't even know who I was
Emphasizing your unfamiliarity with me
