Leon Bridges - Illusion Lyrics

Leon Bridges Lyrics

"Illusion"

Hands high, can't stop me livin'
Woke up face down in the river
Straight up, no light in a prism
Make love, make love to the rhythm

It's an illusion
What are we doing now?
It's an illusion
I can see you now

They got your money
Down on your knees
They got your warning
It's begging please
Say that you want me, take what you need
Finish them off, dying breed

We breathe under pressure
No reason to cry
No break in the weather
No need to reply
I'm leaving the desert
Two keys in the Nile

I'm here in the present
One step at a time
I'm here in the present
One step at a time
I'm here in the present
One step at a time

It's an illusion
What are we doing now?
It's an illusion
I can see you now

They got your money
Down on your knees
They got your warning
It's begging please
Say that you want me, take what you need
Finish them off, dying breed

I'm here in the present
One step at a time
I'm here in the present
One step at a time
I'm here in the present
One step at a time
I'm here in the present
One step at a time

They got your money
Down on your knees
They got your warning
It's begging please
Say that you want me, take what you need
Finish them off, dying breed
