lyrics

IT’S AN ILLUSION
©Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Sometimes I can’t play the part
You want me to, what can I do?
I’m only human after all
I’ve made mistakes not unlike you
There’ll come a time when things will have to change
And maybe all these years won’t be in vane

It’s an illusion
To look into the cloudless sky
It’s an illusion
So look into your lover’s eyes
It’s an illusion

Times are good and times are bad
And in between we float though space
Like little cosmic specs of dust
No mind to change so change the pace
Look to everyone for your own name
And where you think you are is where you’ve been
