Illusion
DUB & RUN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watched the rise and fall of your deception
So sick and tired of all these lies, illusion
I hope your life goes up in flames
Salvation for those in a cage
Something inside you rots away delusion

You deceive then receive and mislead
Life finds a way
You deceive, then receive, endlessly
Lies find a way

Seeking success is like a drug, addiction
What you won't see you've got a bad prescription
When will you learn to face the blame
There's more to life than treachery
When those around you walk away conclusion

You deceive then receive and mislead
Life finds a way
You deceive then receive endlessly
Lies find a

You deceive then receive and mislead
Life finds a way
You deceive then receive endlessly
Lies find a way

You deceive then receive and mislead
Life finds a way




You deceive then receive endlessly
Lies find a
