Illusion of Love - Jesse Marchant

Pose in a picture up against a wall

Bite a rose and give us here a glance

The whole world’s smiling

Sharing in your joy

You can be sure

All along we knew

You were winning

Follow a leader after blood

And give these killings here a pass

Ignore bodies floating in the bay

You ought to enjoy the sun

And your minor cracks

They don’t show for now

All your holes will be filled

You mustn’t mind them

You can move mountains in your form

Bring heart and light to many

In your illusion of love

Don’t be fooled

You try hard

But you’ll never get enough

Out in the desert babe I was lost

At night I was buried in the sand

I woke up choking on the grains

In a bed with a windstorm

Filling up the room

And I don’t know the ways

Or steps that led me back

I had been too long

Living in the past

I know don’t why I held so long

In a love to be lost

To be idle

What for, baby what for

Who do you love?
