Pure Illusion |
| In all extremes I seem to see |
| Through what I own |
| Or do they own me? |
| Or do I live in fear of what I want |
| Afraid to see just what I’ve got? |
| I know sometimes I get confused |
| About what is need and what I choose |
| A little thing perhaps to you |
| But it governs me and what I do |
| It’s really not a mystery |
| Why all these thoughts they follow me |
| Across the face of every child |
| Is accompanied by flawless doubt |
| That there’s something wrong |
| There’s something gone |
| There’s something there that does not belong |
| So what are we still hiding? |
| What are we still hiding from? |
| All these years I thought I owned what is real |
| Don’t you know it’s pure illusion? |
| It’s pure illusion I wonder what they will find |
| When our kingdom rots beneath the ground? |
| A monument that fell away |
| A testament of our decay |
| As they cycle will contain itself |
| A lifetime spent accruing wealth |
| Why can’t I take it with me? |
| Why can’t I take it when I’m gone? |
| All these years I thought I owned what is real |
| Don’t you know it’s pure illusion |
| It’s pure illusion |
| (Let it go) |
| Don’t you know it’s pure illusion? |
| It’s pure illusion |
| So take us to the edge |
| And cast off selfishness instead |
| Don’t be afraid to do without |
| Just raise your hands and begin to shout |
| Burn your money! |
| End these wars! |
| Stop the pain! |
| Tear down these walls! |
| Give us what we want to see |
| A world without hypocrisy |
| I’ve spent so long letting go |
| Just let it go… |
