Storm The Sky – The Illusionist lyrics

For once in your life, forget the faithless
Reach for the dreams that you’re chasing and take them. [x2]

I’m running from reality, because I’ve had it so easy
All that I’ve needed has been given to me but now it’s gone
And my existence needs meaning
I just don’t want to spend the rest of my life avoiding death
The rest of my life knowing nothing is left

You’ll find me sifting through the lies
Sifting through misguided thoughts of my false accomplishments. And I’ll slave for the rest of my days
Until I get the life I so desperately crave

[Chorus]
At the end of a life, all we ever do is reach for the sky
We beg for the chance to fix our scars
But we’re no more alive than the stars
I’ll find the strength to run away from the laws of light
Those dark eyes, white lies, are much better off in our minds

This is the world with its fragile frame
You’ll try, oh you’ll try to break free from the shame of your failure. The only failure you have in your life is that you didn’t try
You didn’t try at all. You didn't try!

How can you not see the clouds up above me
Are making it hard to breathe?
There’s nothing but silence, as we look to the stars

There is no picture perfect life
No chance in a world where we kill to survive
There is no picture perfect life
Just the brush strokes of hope for a world where we kill to survive

[Chorus]
At the end of a life, all we ever do is reach for the sky
We beg for the chance to fix our scars
But we’re no more alive than the stars
I’ll find the strength to run away from the laws of light
Those dark eyes, white lies, are much better off in our minds

This isn’t a fucking game
You told me ‘lie down’, ‘quit now’
Just to save yourself some face
That’s fine, throw away your precious life
You let your dreams die, but I’m living mine
And if the world gave you nothing
Would you live for yourself? Would you live for yourself?
