[Verse 1] Ash on the windowsill Burn marks on the page You say it's all for my own good Lead me back into the cage Thick breath on the ceiling Curling around what I know You paint halos in the shadows Then tell me where to go [Prechorus] Every lie Every line Tastes sweet Pulls me higher I reach out for the edge But I can't see the wire There's smoke over my eyes And you're calling it desire [Chorus] Smoke of dark illusions Curling over my eyes Every word you’re breathing Stains the sky I’m reaching through the shadows But you keep shifting the light Smoke of dark illusions Won’t let me see what’s behind [Verse 2] You say you’re protecting What I 'don’t need to know' But secrets are heavy They settle in my bones Your comfort is poison Served in a fragile glass One sip and the edges Of everything blur fast [Prechorus] Every lie A little fire Every wish Another blindfold tight I reach for a solid sky But the air keeps changing sides There’s smoke over my eyes And it looks so right [Chorus] Smoke of dark illusions Curling over my eyes Every word you’re breathing Stains the sky I’m reaching through the shadows But you keep shifting the light Smoke of dark illusions Won’t let me see what’s behind [Bridge] If I tear down the curtains Let the cold day in Will the shapes on the wall Keep their borrowed skin? If my vision is burning Let it burn Let it burn Better scars on my eyelids Than a sight that never learns [Chorus] Smoke of dark illusions Curling over my eyes Every word you’re breathing Stains the sky I’m reaching through the shadows But you keep shifting the light Smoke of dark illusions Won’t let me see what’s behind
