It's only illusions

It's only an ebb and flow

It's only a re-run

It's only a so and so

It's only a glimpse now

It's only a glancing blow

It's only a mind game

It's only rock and roll

It's only allegiance

It's only heart and soul

Just tell me a lie now

Just tell me you can't let go

It's only illusions

It's only illusions

My mind is at war

I lie awake in bed

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

The promises we swore

And every word you've said

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

Don't worry, Pedro

Don't tell me, I think I know

'Cause I'm on the payroll

The cursed kaleidoscope

Am I the pollution?

Am I the foregone conclusion?

It's only illusions

It's only illusions

My mind is at war

I lie awake in bed

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

The promises we swore

And every word you've said

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

It's only illusions

It's only illusions

It's only illusions

It's only de-evolution

(Who can take these broken splinters from my head?)

My mind is at war

I lie awake in bed

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

The promises we swore

And every word you've said

Like a splinter in my hand

Like a splinter in my head

It's only illusion

It's only illusion

In all this confusion

I start to forget what I'm doing

It's only a splinter in my head

It's only a splinter in my head

It's only illusion
