Illusion
faminehill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm drowning in my sorrow
This life became a dark and empty place
Can you get me out of here?

Get me out now
There's no future for me
Are you too blind to see?
The water is rising underneath my feet
I just close my eyes and wish to suffocate

Two years ago wrong decisions were made
Like a fucking illusion that refuse to fade

I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable but I won't be the person I was before

I'm drowning in my sorrow




This life became a dark and empty place
I don't have the strength to outlive the pain inside
