Illusion of Leadership by If I Were You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kyle Strang]
Abusing your power, misusing your words
Betraying the trust of the people who need you the most
Satisfaction comes at a price
But when is it enough?
Heavy lies the crown
It's not too late to change
But this is who you are

[Chorus: Randy Pasquarella & Kyle Strang]
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side
Will you remember, will you ever see
The monster you've become?

[Verse 2: Randy Pasquarella & Kyle Strang]
Oh, how the times have changed
An honest man now wears the crown of shame
You left us here to drown
Tell me, are you happy now?
Look in the mirror
What do you see? (What do you see?)
A man worth dying for
Or an illusion of leadership?
[Chorus: Randy Pasquarella & Kyle Strang]
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side
Will you remember, will you ever see
The monster you've become?
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side
Will you remember, will you ever see
The monster you've become?

[Bridge: Kyle Strang]
Get up and step down
This is where it ends for you
We are the innocent ones
And we won't be brought down anymore
Tonight your reign is done
Heavy lies the fucking crown
Heavy lies your heart of stone
Heart of stone

[Outro: Kyle Strang]
Buried with your thoughts, you'll remain
Buried with your sorrow, you'll always remain
