Array ( [sid] => 90772 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Burning all illusion Buried all illusion [time] => 2005-04-12 22:36:14 [hometext] => Life is an illusion. People are forgotten, and we are expected to conform to what we are shown. I HATE IT! Rise up and dont let them cloud your sights into false illusions. [bodytext] => ---------------______________---------------------

Do you still believe the chance of a life
and a peace exists for us beyond these walls
burning all illusion buried by illusion
our cities bleed their secrets

rebel lives still sing when the last step falls
burning all illusion buried by illusion
the local time falling from fire
we abandoned past the past the past

unwind our dirty reflections in the water
rocks of white teeth at the fall line
spinning tales tonight histories the days unsung
but brightly shining these words are written for the dead
that the system forgets these words

add to the voices and we’re not beaten yet
these truths another way to guard the light
in your eyes these word building potentials
we get back up to rise building potential up

to rise I’m so sick of feeling hollow
and empty when the tv’s on
buried my illusion burning my illusion
clutching cold to the still air

and the faded dreams of tomorrows gone
burning all illusion buried all illusion
this virus in our compassion has no known cure
we’re distracted then bought out clean and pure

we are all dreaming dreaming for our eyes race under the lids
hear the voice from the past to the unbroken kids
these words are for the dead that the system forgets
these words add to the voices

say we’re not beaten yet
these truths another way to guard the light
in your eyes these days building potential
we get back up to rise up
to rise your voices sound from underground

your dreams endure
‘til days shall be no more.
