I heard it in a whisper I saw it in a shadow Could’ve been an angel Might’ve been the devil They say that I’m a dreamer My head is on a swivel Tell me if I’m lying ’Cause I think I need to know Pull me from the shadow Show me what is real Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Illusion Illusion Illusion Illusion The darkness is a feeling The sun is a decision The middle is a prison It keeps me from believing The light is so appealing I just want innocent bliss Tell me I’m a dreamer Tell me that I don’t exist Pull me from the shadow Show me what is real Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Illusion Illusion Illusion Illusion I’m chasing every echo I’m tracing every sign The mirror shows a stranger But the stranger feels like mine I’m reaching for an answer But the truth won’t ever stay Tell me I’m mistaken Make the fear just fade away Pull me from the shadow Show me what is real If the truth is bending Then let it bend for me If the world is shifting Don’t tell me what you see If my mind is breaking Just let the edges glow Lie to me softly So I never have to know Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Tell me what I wanna hear Tell me that it’s all a lie Tell me what I wanna hear Say it isn’t so Illusion Illusion Illusion Illusion If it’s all illusion Let it fade into the night If my mind is playing tricks Let it keep me in the light Illusion Illusion I don’t wanna know what’s real tonight
