Veil of Illusions

I focus upon this
Considered real and true
Within time
Fixed it seems in form and space

This dream is so real, as I participate
From experienced reality there is no escape
I interact in illusive reflections
Internal mind perceptions

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what's real

Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me
Nothing is what it seems to be
The eyes perform a complex trickery
Decoding numbers into imagery

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what's real

I touch only shadows
What I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance
What I hear is false
I can feel the sorrow
Blinding all of this world
Tear the veil to pieces
And slip through the shreds

Should I close my eyes and depart
End the beating of the heart
Would I not wake from a lifelong dream
Exposing the grandest of schemes

Embracing illusions
Believing what I am shown
The veil of illusions
Pretending to be what's real

I touch only shadows
What I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance
What I hear is false
I can feel the sorrow
Blinding all of this world
Tear the veil to pieces
And slip through the shreds

Embracing illusions
The veil of illusions
I touch only shadows
What I see is not real
Lost in mere appearance
What I hear is false
