"Illusion" lyrics

Lie awake
Think how your life has changed
Fall asleep
To the sound of your heart beating

Was it just an illusion
Of how things were meant to be?
'Cause in reality
You'll never see what I see

If all we know is temporary pain
The promises we've made along the way won't mean a thing
If all it takes to build a legacy
Is to stand alone and die for my beliefs
That's all we need
All we need

What do you do when you wake up and realize this world has nothing for you?
This world has nothing for you
This is the only life we get
What are we doing if we make nothing of it?

Was it just an illusion
Of how things were meant to be?
'Cause in reality
You'll never see what I see

You will amount to nothing
If you don't stand for something
I refuse to waste what I have
If I can't live my life, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead

You will amount to nothing
If you don't stand for something
You will amount to nothing
If you don't stand for something

If all we know is temporary pain
The promises we've made along the way won't mean a thing
If all it takes to build a legacy
Is to stand alone and die for my beliefs
That's all we need
All we need
