Illusions
Smile.
Wipe your tears away.
Head up.
This is the part you’ve got to play.
Smile.
Life is always happy and gay–
At least that’s what they try to tell you day after day.
Smile.
Life’s a dream.
Isn’t it funny how it works that way?
Dream?
Nightmare?
Where does one end and the other begin?
Life is taking you for a spin.
All the colors blur into gray.
And you wonder how life got this way.
What is real and what is an illusion?
Why do you feel like you are drowning in confusion?
Is the happy life you knew only a delusion?
Everybody’s smiling.
But you know most of them are lying.
And you just want to wake up and for everything to be okay.
But the illusion’s shattered.
In tatters.
And you know that there’s no way everything’s going to be okay.
