Lyrics No Illusions - Mike Schmid

The glare of ancient soft machines
Statues of our histories
Marking all the words we never say

Fires of a blood red heat
Contagious lovesick disease
Breathing in a little more each day

Let it all burn down
Till there′s only ashes left
What you see is what you get
Waking up the living dead
There's no illusions now
Buying into fantasies
All the things i wanna be
Only who i am instead

Drift into a sleepless dream
Of the sacred and obscene
Feel my heartbeat shaking off its chains

Giants fall to earth in tears
Broken useless souvenirs
Vivid colors underneath the gray

Let it all burn down
Till there′s only ashes left
What you see is what you get
Waking up the living dead
There's no illusions now
Buying into fantasies
All the things i wanna be
Only who i am instead

You keep holding on, you keep holding on
(The glare of ancient soft machines
Statues of our histories
Marking all the words we never say)
(Fires of a blood red heat
Contagious lovesick disease
Breathing in a little more each day)

Let it all burn down
Till there's only ashes left
What you see is what you get
Waking up the living dead
There′s no illusions now
Buying into fantasies
All the things i wanna be
Only who i am instead
