It's a Hard Truth

Listen! Your heart is hurting
While your mind is starving, all of this is so alarming
There's a place where sadness and worries disappear
You know that place? It isn't here
What is this? Is this your life?
The longer you wait, the less you survive
What you see, it isn't real, everything you've been taught
Only seems to you ideal, all the delusion
Is just illusion, it's a hard truth

The hours are heavy as a chain
Live fully while you may
And reckon not the cost
And hope that fortune favors us
All the delusion is just illusion
It's a hard truth
All the delusion is just illusion
It's a hard truth

'Cause your heart is hurting, we can all see it breaking
None of this is good in the making
Blinking into nothingness, all delusion is illusion
It's complex! A clockwork balance
Move beyond the illusion
We have to move past all this confusion
What you see, it isn't real
Everything you've been taught only seems ideal
All this delusion, it's just illusion, wishing into nothingness
All this delusion, it's just illusion, it's a hard truth

The hours are heavy as a chain
Live fully while you may
And reckon not the cost
And hope that fortune favors us

As the sky poured down, the north wind howled
And my heart laid out
There's nothing left to believe in
You blew me off
You blew me off, all the delusion
Is just illusion, it's a hard truth

All the delusion is just illusion
It's a hard truth
All the delusion is just illusion
It's a hard truth
All the delusion is just illusion
It's a hard truth
