Illusion Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah
Ah-ah

[Verse 1]
This is a story
Of failure and glory

Based in town
In the south in the 1980s
Where should I begin?
Please come in
Where were you lately?
He said with a smile
"In a while"
It's an illusion

[Chorus]
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now

[Verse 2]
I remember the crowd
They were loud
And it was something
When you took control
Of my soul
Then it was nothing
[Chorus]
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now

[Verse 2]
Where should I begin?
Please come in
Where were you lately?
He said with a smile
"In a while"
It's an illusion

[Chorus]
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now
[Outro]
Ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
