Active Illusion

Lyrics

Morning light on separate cups Steam curls, rehearsed A silence hums between us We both let it speak first

Shadows stretch across the floor The sun grows cold Your laugh behind a door Fades before it’s told

We keep pretending (Pretending) Play the game by the rules (By the rules) We fumble, stay quiet (Stay quite) As the ending begins. (It’s ending)

We both want to fix it (Got to fix it) But we don’t have the tools (No tools) An active illusion (delusion) Where no one wins (No one wins)

You disappear in distraction Together, but not there A joke with no reaction The night that we don’t share

We keep pretending (Pretending) Play the game by the rules (By the rules) We fumble, stay quiet (Stay quite) As the ending begins. (It’s ending)

We both want to fix it (Got to fix it) But we don’t have the tools (No tools) An active illusion (delusion) Where no one wins (No one wins)

A spark beneath the silence A truth we almost name One heartbeat of confession Then back into the game

We keep pretending (Pretending) Play the game by the rules (By the rules) We fumble, stay quiet (Stay quite) As the ending begins. (It’s ending)

We both want to fix it (Got to fix it) But we don’t have the tools (No tools) An active illusion (delusion) Where no one wins (No one wins)

It’s an active illusion It’s an active illusion It’s an active illusion
