A situation’s taken over me Can’t you see I’m in trouble Infatuations got a hold on me A little jealously I’m not myself at all
I’m surrounded by confusion And I’m lost in this Illusion
You serenade me at the ball Hiding from it all Behind a disguise Who’s the man who’s at the masquerade Wish I hadn’t stayed Just to drown in lies
Like the headline of a magazine are you what you seem Because I’m losing my belief Can I make it when there is so much doubt Someone help me out, cause I’m in too deep
I’m surrounded by confusion And I’m lost in this Illusion
Follow my dreams into distant lands Blowing in the winds over shifting sands
I’m in too deep
I’m surrounded by confusion And I’m lost in this Illusion
I’m surrounded by confusion I’m so lost in this Illusion
What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power, This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you want to tear things down. There is no reason why I should need all this power, but if you cross me now, I′m gonna tear your whole world down.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real, The illusion of power.
I can′t get the emotional thing straight in my head, Everything I love dies too soon, or is already dead. Don′t stand too close I spit and breathe fire, Anything I′ve got now you cannot desire.
You want to be my friend, I promise you nothing. Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you, I′m being chased by the sins of my past and it′s killing me now, Killing me now.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real, The illusion of power. The illusion of power, it′s already set signed and sealed, The illusion of power.
Fool, you′re caught in a complex catacomb of your own inadequcies and pitiful weaknesses, Your soul secretes insecurity. So you live on the reflection side of the mirror; you′re terrified of true power. You Fear
I can tell you stories of my shaded past and I can drag you down into the depths of my soul.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real, The illusion of power. The illusion of power, it′s already set signed and sealed, The illusion of power.
Why don′t you come closer, Promise a story I will tell, yeah, I′ll save you from your dreams, yeah I′ll save you from your dreams.
Look in my eyes I′ll make you see We′re drifting aimlessly Blind in a world of make believe
Hear them sing their songs off key N′ nod like they agree Buying the need to be discreet
I′ve got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all What′s going on fails to concern me, Cos I′m locked behind my wall But you know what drives me out Out of my mind
It′s whatever makes you see, makes you believe And forget about the premonition you need to conceive That the images they sell are illusion & dream In other words dishonesty
If I speak Ill, please, humor me Won′t rant on endlessly Just thought I′d try to make you see
It doesn′t solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown A stone will not need you to guess if You′re still going to drown So you know what drives me out Out of my mind
It′s whatever makes you see, makes you believe And forget about the premonition you need to conceive That the images they sell are illusion & dream In other words dishonesty
So can you name your demon? Understand its scheming I raise my glass and say "here′s to you" Can you chase your demon? Or will it take your freedom? I raise my class and say "here′s to you"
Went from a dream to the young supremes Searching for a destiny that′s mine There′s another place another time Touching many hearts along the way yeah Hoping that I′ll never have to say Boy I love you but I gotta let you go
Chorus :
Everyday in my mind is confusion Thoughts of you bring illusion Trapped in a world only you get in My minds playing tricks on me again
Daze in my mind is confusion Thoughts of you bring illusion Trapped in a world only you get in My minds playing tricks on me again
Follow your emotions everywhere Is there really magic in the air Never let your feeling let you down Open up your eyes and look around Boy I love you but I gotta let you go Chorus
Can it be a picture in my mind Never sure exactly what I′ll find Only in my dreams I turn you own Here for just a moment then you′re gone
Chorus
(Pras) I don′t write love song Leave it up to Luther Vandross How I choose to live you don′t wanna know the course I pay to be the boss hear it straight from the source Fortune 500 is how I like to gloss Hot shot koni style joyride Blowing candles in the wind like princess Di Could that be, mom tell me how you really like it We can fly high I be your co-pilot
Hey yo, back to the girl with all the razamatazz
Hey yo, I love you shorty
You talkin all that jazz
Boy I love you but I gotta let you go I know you want me, but you play me like the lotto Use and abuse me so there won′t be no friction I gotta leave I can′t be in this illusion
[All:] Tell me you believe in love It′s not an illusion
[Liam:] I been thinking about the nights And the dangerous tricks People play on the eyes of the innocent I can turn a lot of hearts into Breaks with smoke and Mirrors disappearing Right in front of them
[Harry:] But believe me I′m not trying to deceive you I promise falling for me Wont be a mistake
[Zayn:] No baby this is not an illusion I′ve really got my heart out on my sleeve Oh baby this is not an illusion There′s magic between you and me No baby this is not an illusion You really got me lifted on my feet So tell me you believe in love Cause its not an illusion to me
[Liam:] You don′t ever have to worry about me About how the cards fall I′m all that you need tonight I would never turn your heart into Broken parts You don′t have to think twice Looking in my eyes
[Louis:] Can′t you see it? I′m not trying to mislead you I promise falling for me Wont be a mistake
[Zayn:] No baby this is not an illusion I′ve really got my heart out on my sleeve Oh baby this is not an illusion There′s magic between you and me No baby this is not an illusion You really got me lifted on my feet So tell me you believe in love Cause its not an illusion to me
[Niall:] You can tie me up in chains You can throw away the key But there′s no trapped doors I′m not gonna leave You′re the truth I can′t explain You′re the only one I see Its not an illusion to me
[All:] No baby this is not an illusion I′ve really got my heart out on my sleeve Oh baby this is not an illusion There′s magic between you and me No baby this is not an illusion You really got me lifted on my feet So tell me you believe in love Cause its not an illusion to me
So tell me you believe in love Cause its not an illusion
How could I ever go back (ever go back) Back to the life Where I live amongst the dead (dead)
How could I go back To live amongst the dead
Those who have forgotten how to feel (how to feel) And have become slaves (become slaves) to memory And wishful thinking
But Your love has set me free As You′ve awakened every star That has been sleeping In the constellation of my soul
[x2] How could I go back How could I go back To live amongst the dead Amongst the dead
[x2] How could I go back To live amongst the dead
Those who imprisoned beauty I never want to leave Your arms So I wait in hope for Your embrace For Your embrace I wait in hope for Your embrace I wait in hope for Your embrace
Yeah
Illusions of what I thought was love Illusions of what I thought was love Now I have clear sight To see I′ve left nothing behind
You′ll complete me right? then my life can finally begin I′ll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am?
But this won′t work now the way it once did And I won′t keep it up even though I would love to Once I know who I′m not then I′ll know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
But this won′t work as well as the way it once did Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss And though I know who I′m not I still don′t know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
I′ve spent so long firmly looking outside me I′ve spent so much time living in survival mode
Changing, moving, in a circle I can see your face in all of my dreams Smiling, laughing, from the shadows When I hear your voice I know what it means I know it doesn’t matter just how hard I try You’re all the reason for my life Disillusion, disillusion’s all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You’re all I had, you’re all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have
Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd Thinking, wondering, what you’re doing I can stop myself from crying out loud They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar But then, they’d never shared our love Disillusion, disillusion’s all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You’re all I had, you’re all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have
My personality has just been negative for me It′s never worked out It takes a day or two before I open up to you And I can′t sell that So I′ve spent my days alone My heart is frozen to the bone But now I′m not afraid
So here I am, let me be just what you′re looking for It′s just an illusion That′s how everybody likes it So here I am, let me be just what you′re dreaming of It′s just an illusion That′s now everybody wants it
What you see is nothing like the real me Now, baby, what you feel is just a little make-believe
Don′t say a word you mean It′s all about the way you′re seen Just nod you′re sweet face Keep moving in between They say it′s blue you know it′s green Don′t make a big case Man, I′d rather be a clone, Than spend my lonely life alone I know we′re all afraid
So here I am, let me be just what you′re looking for It′s just an illusion That′s how everybody likes it So here I am, let me be just what you′re dreaming of It′s just an illusion That′s now everybody wants it
What you see is nothing like the real me Now, baby, what you feel is just a little make-believe
So here I am, let me be just what you′re looking for I′n not afraid, not anymore I have a plan, let me be the one you can′t ignore I’m not afraid
So here I am, let me be just what you′re looking for It′s just an illusion That′s how everybody likes it So here I am, let me be just what you′re dreaming of It′s just an illusion That′s now everybody wants it
What you see is nothing like the real me Now, baby, what you feel is just a little make-believe
Its′s my fault to pray for someone Praying for my happy wonder You′re my sex object You′re my sex object It′s so easy to love you and easy to hate
You′re my sex object
Illusions Reason unknown My creepy heart Turns to stone My feelings Unholy dreams My secrets My deepest fears
Abyss calls me Deeper deeper Stronger stronger Hideous feelings Are haunting me Deeper deeper Stronger stronger You′re my sex object You′re my sex object So easy love you And easy to hate
You′re my sex object
Illusions Reason unknown My creepy heart Turns to stone My feelings Unholy dreams My secrets My deepest fears
My neighbours keep gettin′ murdered so we sleep with the alarm on Bedroom filled with Nike SB′s and Comme Des Garcons Starin′ at the ceiling listening to So-Far-Gone Tryna make the world play me daily like Carson My mom says I need to put on weight like Kelly Clarkson She said I work like a soldier steady marchin′ Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right Tryna keep it steady like Elizabeth Arden, ahh Apartments, Guard with a Garden Money in the jeans, car keys in the cardigan When I was a kid I wished that I could be in Narnia Every time my father disregarded an argument Wishing I was sitting on the moon Watching videos, wishing I was living on a shoe With dishonest use, doing things I didn′t wanna do Wishing i could see the world from a different point of view
(Chorus) Leave your baggage at the stairs And your worries at the door You don′t have to think about problems any more (I can make you believe in anything) Uh, I know that everything′s changed But I′m under this illusion just so I don′t go insane (I can Make you believe in anything)
Uh, you ever been too fed up, to get up Or wish you had a huge shredder for a few letters Dreaming up these stories of these all new adventures
Like new Louie Vuittons on a new Cinderella Check the sense of humor on the new, rumors getting better Around me teachin′ you a lesson, and I don′t mean a lecture Cos only fake (rich, rich) dudes get jealous So we′ll never let a (rich, rich) dude get near us Cos were up with the stars, somewhere out of space And on the underground I felt so outta place I got Tom, Dick and Harry all looking at my face I know they wanna say ′Safe′ but, don′t know how to say it Bad body language, I don′t understand it When they see Patrick, then they turn to gangsters Haha, And that′s a passage from my mantra I′ve started reading from a whole different chapter
(Chorus)
I can make you, I can make you, I can make you, Believe in anything
I can make you, I can make you, I can make you, Believe in anything
