lyrics

When the ice seems thick enough
when it seems the dust has settled.
When we face the open door
when we throw away the key.
When the street is lit with stars
when a smile melts our walls.

Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.

When a fingerprint gives birth
when a word defines decision.
When zero becomes one
when encryption changes sequence.
When expired dates served best
when life is packed cellophane.

Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.

Gather the strength to swim where the deep end feels like
waiting for a sign to rest assure I can follow the unknown,
they say it's fine.

Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.

When we're given the all clear
when there's nothing left to...
