Switchfoot - ⁠splinter lyrics

It's only illusions It's only an ebb and flow It's only a re-run It's only a so and so It's only a glimpse now It's only a glancing blow It's only a mind game It's only rock and roll It's only allegiance It's only heart and soul Just tell me a lie now Just tell me you can't let go It's only illusions It's only illusions My mind is at war I lie awake in bed Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head The promises we swore And every word you've said Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head Don't worry, Pedro Don't tell me, I think I know 'Cause I'm on the payroll The cursed kaleidoscope Am I the pollution? Am I the foregone conclusion? It's only illusions It's only illusions My mind is at war I lie awake in bed Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head The promises we swore And every word you've said Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head It's only illusions It's only illusions It's only illusions It's only de-evolution Who can take these broken splinters from my head? My mind is at war I lie awake in bed Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head The promises we swore And every word you've said Like a splinter in my hand Like a splinter in my head It's only illusion It's only illusion In all this confusion I start to forget what I'm doing It's only a splinter in my head It's only a splinter in my head It's only illusion
