Illusions never change
The may die
But they are always the same
They are felt with the heart
They are felt with the mind
But they are not seen clearly
The problem is
They are not really there

A star without a dream
A lost person looks up to the star
Thinking the star will guide him
But the star is just as lost
Without a dream
The star walks in an empty sky

When I look up to your eyes I see them blue
I see the sky
And when I look down to the ground
I see them brown and green
And I look and there it is
The moon shining in them
And I think there's something strange about it
Is it the truth I'm so afraid of?
Or are you finally saying the lie I've been waiting for?
Their both strange
And I wonder is it just the light?

A deep tear of wine
Slips into a stranger's lips
I look at this stranger's eyes
And there it is
Nothing simple about it
Love ?
Or manipulation?
Regretting looking into this man's eyes
Tears made of wine roll down my cheeks
Sunday night, I light another cigarette
Alone with the music
Alone with my thoughts
And there it is
I see his life crash
Nothing simple about it
Just a perfect human being,  captured by imperfection

I sit in heaven
And there's no more room for you
The devil took the sits
So you could sit down with him

A bottle of aspirin
Taken with liquor of the liquor store
Sometimes remembering what it was like
Worrying about everything
And not remembering what I worried about
If I remind you what it's like
To want to die with drugs and alcohol
Maybe drown in cigarettes
And light memories on fire
You would be stuck in a roller coaster

It wasn't about money
No, not at first
I've never thought it was
I thought it was about art
Or even, maybe love

I had dreams like many others
Fantasies and illusions about it
I just wanted to be wonderful
I didn't want money

I wanted to be beautiful
Not pretty
I wanted to be the illusion
Not the one with the lies
It wasn't about money at first
