A Matter of Illusion
Written by Josh Bien

lyrics

A tangerine bathed in arsenic
Tt is falling in a big black hole
In a black hole

Spinning in a funnel that doesn't end
It's all about pain and suffering
Dislocating

Lost in confusion
Not knowing which way to turn
It's a matter of illusion
And the things that you must learn
In a black hole

Spinning around see my world upside down
No one I recognize is here now
I'm all alone

You pull me out and I might shout
I'm in enough pain as it is now
Face to the ground

Lost in confusion
Not knowing which way to turn
It's a matter of illusion
And the things that you must learn
Face to the ground

Floating heads are everywhere now
And you must learn to live with them or die
Learn to live or die

We must move on, getting on we move along
Roll along with me on this journey
On this journey

Lost in confusion
Not knowing which way to turn
It's a matter of illusion
And the things that you must learn
Learn to live or die

Pressure builds up it can't escape
It's a mountain going to explode
What a load

You hold your breath and you will see
It doesn't help you are going to faint
Ain't life great?

Lost in confusion
Not knowing which way to turn
It's a matter of illusion
And the things that you must learn
Ain't life great?
Ain't life great?
