Tree Speak - Illusions Lyrics

Carefully constructed lies in which you seem to rely on
Illusions of permanence have gone and hidden your goodwill and common sense
Of knowing that there's nowhere else you can go
And that you should be grateful for what they have done
But if you can't imagine posterity, that nothing will last
Then I wrote this in the future but I'm singing it in the past

Hesitate watching it all go by with just a sigh
Illusions of luxury have gone and made us complacent and wavering
Of knowing that there's so much more we can do
Not reaching potential that we know we could
If you won't allow forgiveness and that every day must end
You'll be breathing this second but the next might be your last
