​illusion​ Lyrics by XYLØ

yes & no

2019

[Verse 1]
Cold side of the pillow
Cold side of the truth
Lookin' out the same window
To a different view
All of these expectations
Feels like they’re always weighin'
Me down (Down)
Me down, down, down

[Pre-Chorus]
Are we, are we, are we, are
What we think we are, we are?
Are we, are we, are we, are
What we think we are, we are?

[Chorus]
How'd this get so damn confusin’?
Can't help but feel we're losin'
Everything that we had when we weren't so lost in our future
Now I don't know what we're doin' (I don’t know)
The target keeps on movin’ (Know)
What we were, what we are, what we want
Is it just an illusion?

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?

[Verse 2]
Keep sayin' we’re gonna, gonna work shit out (Gonna work it out)
Still chasin' tomorrow, we forgot right now
Hopin' that when sunlight comes in, it isn't too bright
To show up our past, and all of the cracks we’re tryin' to hide (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Are we, are we, are we, are
What we think we are, we are?

[Chorus]
How'd this get so damn confusin'?
Can't help but feel we're losin'
Everything that we had when we weren't so lost in our future
Now I don't know what we're doin' (I don't know)
The target keeps on movin' (Know)
What we were, what we are, what we want
Is it just an illusion? (Illusion)

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?

[Bridge]
How'd this get so damn confusin'?
Can't help but feel we're losin'
(Oh-oh, yeah)
Now I don't know what we're doin' (I don't know)
The target keeps on movin' (I don't know)
(Is it just an illusion?)

[Chorus]
How'd this get so damn confusin'?
Can't help but feel we're losin'
Everything that we had when we weren't so lost in our future
Now I don't know what we're doin' (I don't know)
The target keeps on movin' (Know)
What we were, what we are, what we want
Is it just an illusion? (Illusion)

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah
(Are we, are we, are we, are)
(What we think we are, we are?)
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?
(Are we, are we, are we, are)
(What we think we are, we are?)
Ah, ah, ah-ah
(Are we, are we, are we, are)
(What we think we are, we are?)
Is it just an illusion? Just an illusion?
(Are we, are we, are we, are)
(What we think we are, we are?)

[Outro]
Cold side of the pillow
Cold side of the truth
Lookin' out the same window...
