I can’t get out of bed
My head’s a spinning carousel
Twirling a new thread
Setting up a wishing well
I’m shedding a new skin
Thinning out and feeling swell
I smell the scent of sin
We should never kiss and tell

Chorus:
The illusions in my mind, in my mind
Cuddle me at night, cuddle me at night
These illusions in my head, in my head
A picture perfect sight
Of all the things I should’ve said and never said
All these illusions in my head

It’s such an even flow
Never leave a stone unturned
I’m learning as I go
That even stones can leave a burn
I’m hurting and it shows
Who knows if the scars will fade
I’ve made myself a hole
A lonely soul who’s lost his way

Chorus:
The illusions in my mind, in my mind
Cuddle me at night, cuddle me at night
These illusions in my head, in my head
A picture perfect sight
Of all the things I should’ve said and never said
All these illusions in my head        

Bridge:
I didn’t think that I’d be standing over here
Oh, what an island I’ve become
So far away from where I always used to be
But I won’t turn around, turn around.

Chorus:
The illusions in my mind, in my mind
Cuddle me at night, cuddle me at night
These illusions in my head, in my head
A picture perfect sight
Of all the things I should’ve said and never said
All these illusions in my head
