De/Vision — Self-Deception lyrics

Lyrics

I’m unclean
Undress me So unreal
The frame I see
I stand stripped to the waist
Before myself
Is it really me Or what I’m trying to be
I won’t drown
In my tears
And go down
In my fears
I am stripped to the skin
I feel ashamed
Is it really me What I pretend to be This life is just an illusion
A dream that never ends
I’m always trapped in confusion
On lies it all depends
If this is just an illusion
Made up in somebody’s mind
I have to draw the conclusion
It must be someone unkind
I won’t lose
My trust again
So untrue
It’s still the same
So I strip off my skin
To ease the pain
Is it really me What I believe to see
