1. THE LIE

Illusions running down my throat
Your eyes get lost in the thick white smoke
I blow into your face
Why are you so afraid?
We're all standing into a meaningless eternity

Tell me why can't you see right through me?
Why can't you see that I am only an illusion?

Aren't you scared that you'll lose yourself in me?
Aren't you worried that I'll lose my dreams in you?

'Cause darling we are all living a lie
We've risen above the depths of our love
And now there is nothing to hide our real world behind
We can deceive ourselves no more

When will the hourglass break?
Do I have to tear out your bleeding heart
From deep inside your soul
For you to let me in?
Lying ourselves into a meaningless eternity

Tell me why can't you see right through me?
Why can't you see that I am only an illusion?

We've risen above the depths of our love
Can we accept illusions are all that we have?
Is there a truth worthy enough?
Is it really worth waking up?
Indulging in lies... Reality might just tear us apart


2. MIRAGE

Hush now, the morning's near
Her crystal light will wash away all your fear
Your teary eyes she'll blind with hope
She'll make you believe
There's meaning to reveal
Make you believe yesterday couldn't be real

So wipe your eyes now and be brave
Let this false hope lead your way
This frail mirage might just warm your frozen heart

Brace yourself
There really is nobody out there
To hold your hand - when you are ready to fail

Darling hush now, the night is near
To bury your pain in darkness and fear

And on the dusty roads we ride
With nothing but our foolish pride
Trying to find the way forward
Desperately searching for
Who we really are

So close your eyes now and be brave
Let those dreams stand in your way
Their frail mirage might just warm your frozen heart

If it's all for the happy days
Don't turn around, don't look ahead
For meaning you will have to face
The demons you've erased


3. THE GLORY OF A NEW DAY

Could I ever lose my way?
Leave behind all that's been
Would the world seem the same?

Void of memories
Those broken moments
Never fading
Aching smiles and tears

Deep inside I feel
It's so insane, so surreal
But I know I can't forget
And I know I can't forgive

Some things just never change
Some just fade away
No matter how we want them to stay
No matter how we try to hold them
They're just gone
And we have got to keep on living
Try loving the moments while they last
Leaving dusk behind
Reborn in the brave new light of dawn

Even if every smile - every laugh
Is screaming, aching, bleeding inside


4. INSIDE THE HOURGLASS

Sneaking, lurking inside the mist
Of our screaming ego
A lonely, a faded echo
Eagerly counting down the days
Until we're done with it all
Signalling an end to all of those hopeless dreams

'Cause we are so far behind...

It's time to realise the here and the now
It is the moment we'll miss when we look inside
Searching for all that could've been
That could've been...

We are craving inside for dreams
That will never mean as much
As we thought, as we hoped
They'll just fade... just fade
Just like a lover's touch
But fear not
This too will pass

Chained down but alive
Blinded by the weight of time
Slipping away like clouds

A thousand lies, a thousand fires
Burning inside broken hearts
A thousand times we fall and rise
Aghast at our final demise

It's time to realise the here and the now
It is the moment we'll miss when we look inside
Searching for all that could've been
That could've been

It's time to realise the here and the now
It is the moment we'll miss when we look inside
Searching for all that could've been
That could've been...

8. TEMPTATION

A stolen glance in the moonlight
A subtle touch and I believe again
Trying to feel our wary steps
In the darkness that is sweet
Like the red wine on your lips
Just like the illusions that I'll miss
When finally this all slips away...

Dreaming under torrid ruins
The embers fade into the mist
And I could scream but I must pretend
The world hasn't changed
And I am the same

But I know the distance will slowly withdraw
And dreams will fade away

...Still the shadows of hurtful doubts
Oh they fill my sleepless nights...

Finally adrift in the shelter of dreams
All I see is the deceitful eyes of love...

Still your lies are sweeter than any truth I've heard
And so, for now, I don't even mind
Dreaming under torrid ruins...
