Favourite Illusion

from The Sickness by Sidetrack Walker

/

lyrics

11 February 2018 / 17 November 2020

how can I sing
when the world is screaming
sing about my regrets
my woes and selfish dreaming
how can I dream
when there’s this looming nightmare
encroaching on our “sacred soil”
where no one really cares?

even if I go down with the sinking ship
I’ll still be looking for someone to go down with

‘cos everybody says it’s human
and everyone thinks that these things matter
and this is my favourite illusion
the one that never really shatters

how can I grieve
when the dying has just begun
and the battle for our lives and goals
can nevermore be won
how can I live
when there’s no fate better than death
to stop the drums of nothingness
that are beating in our chests

even with the rubble crashing down on me
I held on for dear life to my selfish dreams

‘cos everybody says it’s human
and everyone thinks that these things matter
and this is my favourite illusion
the one that never really shatters

‘cos everybody’s only human
and everyone thinks that they should matter
and this has become my last illusion
the one that remains when all else shatters
