Illusion of Bliss
[You know right now, I met someone that I loveOr fell in love withI don't wanna cry or nothing butLet me just get straight to the storyI'm a 29-year-old addict--]
What would you knowWhat would you doIf you had no controlOver what you pursueYou talk yourself, tell yourself babyI'm better than thisAnd all that I'm fightingI don't wanna resist
And so it persists, like a bottomless kissAn illusion of bliss, an illusion of blissAnd so it persists, like a bottomless kissAn illusion of bliss, an illusion of bliss
I live in a prisonOf blood and fleshAnd the easy way outIs this high I confessSo what you looking outWhat you wanna sayYou can't save me, babyAnd I don't want it no way
And so it persists, like a bottomless kissAn illusion of bliss, an illusion of blissAnd so it persists, like a bottomless kissAn illusion of bliss
See, my life ain't no easy roadI don't know which way to goWon't somebody see me when I can't see myselfWon't somebody listen before I need helpI'm sick of being judgedSick of being sickTell me where's the loveI'm tired of being trickedSick of being highSick of being lowSick of all the liesPutting on a show
And so it persists, and so it persistsLike a bottomless kissAn illusion of bliss, an illusion of bliss
I, I don't wanna be a falling angelI, I don't wanna be a falling angelDon't say I'm gone, goneI don't wanna be a falling angelDon't say I'm lost, lostI don't wanna be a falling angelDon't say I'm gone, goneI don't wanna be a falling angelDon't say I'm lost, lostI don't wanna be a falling angel
