It’s a Hard Truth

[Verse 1]
Listen! Your heart is hurting
While your mind is starving
All of this is so alarming
There's a place where sadness
And worries disappear
You know that place? It isn't here

What is this? Is this your life?
The longer you wait
The less you survive
What you see, it isn't real
Everything you've been taught
Only seems ideal

[Pre-Chorus]
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!

[Chorus]
The hours are heavy as a chain
Live fully while you may
And reckon not the cost
And hope that fortune favors us

[Post-Chorus]
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!

[Verse 2]
'Cause your heart is hurting
We can all see it breaking
None of this is good in the making
Blinking into nothingness
All delusion is illusion
It's complex!

A clockwork balance
Move beyond the illusion
We have to move past all this confusion
What you see, it isn't real
Everything you've been taught
Only seems ideal!

[Pre-Chorus]
All this delusion
It's just illusion
Wishing into nothingness
All this delusion
It's just illusion
It's a hard truth!

[Chorus]
The hours are heavy as a chain
Live fully while you may
And reckon not the cost
And hope that fortune favors us

[Bridge]
As the sky poured down
The north wind howled
And my heart laid out
There's nothing left to believe in!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You blew me off!
You blew me off!

[Refrain]
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!

[Outro]
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!
All the delusion
Is just illusion
It's a hard truth!
