lyrics

Welcome my love
to the other side
of your eyelids,
where promises cover the ground in front of us.

Are you feeling alright, drunk on a fiction?
By candlelight, dark attire
We both cast shadows like scorpion tails.
Whatever's behind us,
had defined us.

Can't put my finger on it
I try to think of all the times in which you told me I deserve your love.
And now I'm struggling to see the light that cast these shadows.

I guess I fell for no angel.
She sold her wings to descend.
One can only hope
world currencies and karmic slings can remain in tact in Hades.
Why did I do it if I knew I maybe shouldn't have?
Incomplete, wandering
through blue wilderness, new frontiers of
desire, unrequited.

Don’t know if I believe in
radical honesty. It takes so much out of you
when I show my hand.
And now I’m struggling
to see the line. Oh no.
Can't put my finger on it
I try to think of all the times in which you told me I deserve to be loved.
But I'm still struggling to see the light that cast these shadows.

I'm sorry dear. I know you're confused
But I'm just an illusionist putting on a show.
When the lights come down you got something to lose.
I am just an illusionist making my home of mirrors.

I'm sorry dear 'cause I know you're confused
But I'm just an illusionist putting on a show.
When the lights come down you got something to lose.
I am just an illusionist making my home of mirrors.

Making my home.
