illusion Lyrics by head on mars

2025

[Verse 1]
I’m sitting near the castle I built
Writing you a letter you’ll never read
The cold is wrapping the fallen leaves
And the sound of tears falling from the trees
Is the ink of my soul, begging to be free
From the painful thoughts I need you to hear
I’m writing them down, locking them away
While I pray to God, on my knees, for you to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when I thought I could let these words die on the page
Under shining lights, you suddenly appear
A ray of sun, or maybe just a shadow
Not knowing yours are the fabrics I fell for

[Chorus]
Once upon a time, my words had meaning for you
But now you’re just a perfect illusion I can’t let go of
Shaking, breaking, fighting to reach you
But you’re an illusion, an unwritten letter, something I feel I need to die with too

[Verse 2]
Stuck in the maze of moments I draw
With you in them so I can tell myself you’re not that far
I die, I love, I breathe just to feel like I still matter in your time
But I ran out of ink right when I was about to start

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when I thought I could let these words die on the page
Under shining lights, you suddenly appear
A ray of sun, or maybe just a shadow
Not knowing yours are the fabrics I fell for

[Chorus]
Once upon a time, my words had meaning for you
But now you’re just a perfect illusion I can’t let go of
Shaking, breaking, fighting to reach you
But you’re an illusion, an unwritten letter, something I feel I need to die with too

[Bridge]
I’m sitting next to the grave I’ve dug
For the love we never made, for the control I thought I had
My mind rests in peace with a pile of letters in my coffin
Make me believe that I’ve won, but I’ll never win if you’re not here

[Chorus]
Cause once upon a time, my words had meaning for you
But now you’re just a perfect illusion I can’t let go of
Shaking, breaking, fighting to reach you
But you’re an illusion, an unwritten letter, something I feel I need to die with too

[Outro 1]
And I could die without you
I could die, if I can’t have you
But you’ll never know it from me
Cause all these letters will die with me

[Outro 2]
I’m standing right here, and I’m watching you go
God is gracious
I’ll be waiting, to die for you
