Scar Symmetry - Veil of Illusions lyrics

I focus upon this

Considered real and true

Within time, fixed it seems in form and space

The dream is so real, as I participate

From experienced reality there is no escape

I interact in illusive reflections

Internal mind perceptions

Embracing illusions

Believing what I am shown

The veil of illusions

Pretending to be what is real

Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me

Nothing is what it seems to be

The eyes perform a complex trickery

Decoding numbers into imagery

Embracing illusions

Believing what I am shown

The veil of illusions

Pretending to be what is real

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real

Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false

I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world

Tear the veil to pieces

And slip through the shreds

[Solo]

Should I close my eyes and depart

End the beating of the heart

Would I not wake from a lifelong dream

Exposing the grandest of schemes

Embracing illusions

Believing what I am shown

The veil of illusions

Pretending to be what is real

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real

Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false

I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world

Tear the veil to pieces

And slip through the shreds

Embracing illusions

The veil of illusions

I touch only shadows, what I see is not real

Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false
