"The Oasis of Illusion"
Did you like your share of the take;
oh, you thought you'd get it all...
well, I guess there's no honor in
walking away
And, the promises made that drew
you away and lulled you to sleep
through whispers of greener pastures
aren't always what they said they'd be
Candy-coated images of brighter days on the horizon, and gold-plated
lies are never true... only an illusory
oasis in your desert
The conclusion always proves that
the ends you sought the means to
are never meted-out to their full measure
So, walk away; behind, leave it all;
fall-away; step the fuck out
Don't look back and risk becoming
a pillar of salt that can in the future
be looked upon in memoriam
Let there be no doubt in your mind;
what's before been done, always
around again comes
Just take a last breath and know that...
Candy-coated images of brighter days on the horizon and, gold-plated
lies are never true... only an illusory
oasis in your desert
The conclusion always proves that
the ends you sought the means to
are never meted-out to their full-measure
So, just walk away; behind, leave it
all; fall-away; step the fuck out
Don't look back and risk becoming
a pillar of salt that can in the future
be looked upon in memoriam
In your mind, let their be no doubt
oh, you thought you'd get it all...
well, I guess there's no honor in
walking away
And, the promises made that drew
you away and lulled you to sleep
through whispers of greener pastures
aren't always what they said they'd be
Candy-coated images of brighter days on the horizon, and gold-plated
lies are never true... only an illusory
oasis in your desert
The conclusion always proves that
the ends you sought the means to
are never meted-out to their full measure
So, walk away; behind, leave it all;
fall-away; step the fuck out
Don't look back and risk becoming
a pillar of salt that can in the future
