I. Chillusion
We want idols we can idly enjoy
Just look at the pets we keep
And the friends we meet
We just want our toys
And for some forty nights
I consumed more and bore myself to sleep
A mirage in the desert
How long will this hurt?
Dreams might seem like an escape
But it’s just a chillusion
When you reach that conclusion
You’ll justify your hate
I hardly partied but found it hard
I found it hard to part with your New York
A mirage in the desert
How long will this hurt?
II. Buzzed
What buzzed me more the 99 apples
Or was it the habu sake snake wine?
I saw the holes
But you saw
Through all of mine
Every time I close my eyes
I will pray
I will pray
The world looks more vibrant
I will pray
I will pray
I love the way hidden days keep us sane
Three people can look at one another
And see each one simultaneously
I understand
I was blind
But now I see
Every time I close my eyes
I will pray
I will pray
The Word looks more vibrant
I will pray
I will pray
I love the way His Son raised keeps us saved
III. Pay No Attention
I felt the hand
The hand of the devil
It was warm
And it felt so familiar
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Play the anthem backwards and you might hear the devil speak
I must have all
The blessings in the world
But always
Manage to forget it
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
No one’s paid but the millionaires who we all cheer as they’re going to Mars
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Play the anthem backwards and you might hear the devil speak
