A New Illusion

Stay back, stay in time
The rhythm's mathematics right
Same dreams, anodyne
Start to falter through the night
Dead as a thought in space
Disembodied love of mine
In the black we'll fly
Keep searching on meanwhile

For a new light, a new illusion
As everything is falling apart
To save you from the shrinking of your horizons
To see things as they really are

Would you stay a while
Put your shaking hands in mine
Phantom's paradise
Shouldn't be so hard to find
Tethered weary hearts
To a disappointing past
Won't get you far
Blind yourself to where you are

With a new light, new illusion
As everything is falling apart
Save you from the shrinking of your horizons
To see things as they really are
