Speakeasy - The Shimmering Lyrics

Here I am
Paralyzed
By who I wish I was and who they think I should be

Hear it now
For what it is
We're living a lie

I get lost in the shimmering,
Sinking into the sands of this illusion
Disillusioned

We're shattering
Under the weight of this delusion
Dissolution

The shimmering
The shimmering

We trade the truth for insincerity
To fabricate our sense of clarity

Surrounded by a million lights
Perfection is the only place to hide

We build our lives on little lies
But it's never enough

I get lost in the shimmering,
Sinking into the sands of this illusion
Disillusioned

We're shattering
Under the weight of this delusion
Dissolution

Time just keeps on running out
Everything is burning down
Buried all our heads in the sand

Time just keeps on running out
Everything is burning down
We can't see the blood on our hands

I get lost in the shimmering,
Sinking into the sands of this illusion
Disillusioned

We're shattering
Under the weight of this delusion
Dissolution

The shimmering
The shimmering
