Precious Illusions lyrics

You'll rescue me, right?

In the exact same way they never did

I'll be happy, right?

When your healing powers kick in

You'll complete me, right?

Then my life can finally begin

I'll be worthy, right?

Only when you realize the gem I am

But this won't work now the way it once did

And I won't keep it up even though I would love to

Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am

But I know I won't keep on playing the victim

These precious illusions in my head

Did not let me down when I was defenseless

And parting with them is like parting with

Invisible best friends

This ring will help me yet

As will you, knight in shining armor

This pill will help me yet

As will these boys gone through like water

But this won't work as well as the way it once did

'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss

And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am

But I know I won't keep on playing the victim

These precious illusions in my head

Did not let me down when I was a kid

And parting with them is like parting with a

Childhood best friend

I've spent so long firmly

Looking outside me

I've spent so much time

Living in survival mode

But this won't work as well as the way it once did

'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss

And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am

But I know I won't keep on playing the victim

These precious illusions in my head

Did not let me down when I was defenseless

And parting with them is like parting with

Invisible best friends

These precious illusions in my head

Did not let me down when I was a kid

And parting with them is like parting with a

Childhood best friend
