Illusions

The realm
 Do you know what the realm is?
 A story we agree to tell each other over and over
 Till we forget that it's a lie
 But what do we have left once we abandon the lie?
 Chaos, a gaping pit waiting to swallow us all
 Chaos isn't a pit
 Chaos is a ladder
 Chaos
 Chaos is a ladder
 Many who try to climb it fail
 And never get to try again
 The fall breaks them
 And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse
 They cling to the realm or the gods or love
 Illusions, only the ladder is real
 The climb is all there is
 But what do we have left once we abandon the lie?
 Chaos
 The realm
 Do you know what the realm is?
 A story we agree to tell each other over and over
 Till we forget that it's a lie
 But what do we have left once we abandon the lie?
 Chaos, a gaping pit waiting to swallow us all
 Chaos isn't a pit
 Chaos is a ladder
 Many who try to climb it fail
 And never get to try again
 The fall breaks them
 Chaos
 You've been to the other side
 The other side? There is no other side
 I have been to the darkness
 Chaos
