Illusion Lyrics by Carlile

Human Human

[Verse 1]
Can't lie, it's nice
I've really liked this high
Been gone in flight
The comedown's not so kind
I've since gone blind
Can't make you out tonight
I wonder why

[Chorus]
The mask is slipping
And all that I'd loved is down at our feet
Guess I've been kidding
Myself to believe in all that I see, but I still
Like the picture painted on your face
Only wish it wouldn't wash away
I think I've made a big mistake
Falling in love with illusion

[Verse 2]
I can't describe
A single thing I like
'Bout what's behind
This wall you've built so high
Intent aside
It's not a pretty sight
I think it's time
To knock it down with all our might

[Chorus]
The mask is slipping
And all that I'd loved is down at our feet
Guеss I've been kidding
Myself to beliеve in all that I see, but I still
Like the picture painted on your face
Only wish it wouldn't wash away
I think I've made a big mistake
Falling in love with illusion

[Bridge]
Oh, illusion has a name, it has a name
Never thought it'd be the same as yours, babe
Oh, illusion has a name, it has a name
Never thought it'd be the same as yours, babe
Oh, illusion has a name, it has a name
Never thought it'd be the same as yours, babe
Oh, illusion has a name, it has a name
Never thought

[Chorus]
The mask is slipping
And all that I'd loved is down at our feet
Guess I've been kidding
Myself to believe in all that I see, but I still
Like the picture painted on your face
Only wish it wouldn't wash away
I think I've made a big mistake
Falling in love with illusion
