Illusion.

Kinda old-school. Recorded with ghetto-style. Meanest keyboard solo I’ve ever hacked through. Remixed and ready for release this winter onCozy Music (after much procrastination) with I See You as a digital B-side.

A long time ago things used to seem to come so easy
Everybody’s warnings turned to lost attempts to reach me
Through the dust and the haze I would hide myself for days
Because all I’d want to do is let these circuits sing to you

Verse after verse I continue to search for a way to get out of this
It’s a gift and a curse, an illusion of worth and it’s only paper thin

Now money isn’t everything but I’ve got bills to pay
And the more I work to get it, it seems, the less it wants to stay
And I fear that I’ll go before I ever get to know
What it’s like to live the life you want to live

Verse after verse I continue to search for a way to get out of this
It’s a gift and a curse, an illusion I’m sure and it’s only paper thin
