Twisted Illusion - Twisted Illusion Lyrics

My parents just used and abused
They tried to teach me lessons I have since ignored
My mother is where the problem started
She gave me hate
Taught me how to get angry
She took some pills, everyday
Another persona
For her to swallow
I will never trust her face
Her stupid ego
Just a little out of place
My belief will keep me warm
And keep me on track
A subtle reminder
Of how to win
How dare you not accept the blame
For my mental health
It's you and only you
How can a child do this to himself?
An empty feeling made worse, by the unknown
The world mirrors me in so many ways
I look to others with a burning sense of envy
But then I think, they're all broken inside
Tread on eggshells on a lifetime of dreams
Just pick a safe path and choose it well

My parents just used and abused
They tried to teach me lessons I have since ignored
My mother is where the problem started
She gave me hate
Taught me how to get angry
She took some pills, everyday
Another persona
For her to swallow
I will never trust her face
Her stupid ego
Just a little out of place
My belief will keep me warm
And keep me on track
A subtle reminder
Of how to win
How dare you not accept the blame
For my mental health
It's you and only you
How can a child do this to himself?
An empty feeling made worse, by the unknown
The world mirrors me in so many ways
I look to others with a burning sense of envy
But then I think, they're all broken inside
Tread on eggshells on a lifetime of dreams
Just pick a safe path and choose it well
