Under No Illusions

Taste a glimpse of triumph
And trap the innocent desire
If you’re in, there’s no return
Face the odds defiant
Reach for the virulence required
Without a guide, which way to turn?
The clock, it ticks on this parade
The gauntlet’s down, this is no game
I still see it in my dreams
Still I’m falling up
As I find my way
Yet it’s all the same
I am under no illusions
I’ve waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
I let it slide to find my way
Find my way
Rise to break the silence
Crash through the dissonant veneer
Search within, the lesson learnt
The will to fight on this crusade
No shortcuts found, no one to blame
I still feed it with these schemes
Are you stalling yet?
Like you fall astray
But it’s all the same
I am under no illusions
I’ve waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
I let it slide to find my way
Find my way
All now must see
The game serves rigged decision
Walls stand unseen
Must make a bold incision
Fall down for me
I’ll aim with clear precision
Steal victory
Stay true to honest vision
I am under no illusions
I’ve waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
I let it slide to find my way
Find my way
