Illusions of Perfection

[instrumental hook] [Verse 1] In a world of mirrors and smoke, Where the truth is cloaked, Painted smiles, porcelain faces, Chasing dreams in hidden places. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (Perfection’s a mask, a fleeting task) [Verse 2] Emerald eyes, synthetic gleam, Life unfolds like a shallow stream, Glossy lips, a painted scene, Living in a fragile dream. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (Underneath the glitter, shadows linger) [Chorus] We're dancing with illusions, Lost in a sea of confusion, Chasing the stars in the night, But the darkness hides the light. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (In this masquerade, truth fades) [Verse 3] Diamond tears in silent cries, Behind the glamor, a soul lies, Golden chains that bind so tight, Hiding scars in the spotlight. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (Beneath the shine, hearts entwine) [Bridge] Influence casts a shadow deep, Dreams they sell, promises they keep, Young hearts break in silent weep, Losing sight, they start to creep. [spoken word,whispered echoes] (False ideals, broken seals) [big finale] [Chorus] We're dancing with illusions, Lost in a sea of confusion, Chasing the stars in the night, But the darkness hides the light. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (In this masquerade, truth fades) {end} [spoken word, whispered echoes] (Beneath the shine, hearts entwine) [Chorus] We're dancing with illusions, Lost in a sea of confusion, Chasing the stars in the night, But the darkness hides the light. [Bridge] Influence casts a shadow deep, Dreams they sell, promises they keep, Young hearts break in silent weep, Losing sight, they start to creep. [spoken word,whispered echoes] (False ideals, broken seals) [big finale] [Chorus] We're dancing with illusions, Lost in a sea of confusion, Chasing the stars in the night, But the darkness hides the light. [spoken word, whispered echoes] (In this masquerade, truth fades) {end}
