Illusion

(album: Wisconsin - 2023)

You always said that I lucked out
But I just feel more lost now
It's all a scene like magazines
It all just pulls me under

And my expectations
Like poison, I know that
Stuck in this cycle
I'm fine though, I'm fine

This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion doesn't sit right
At every corner, there's a red light
Perfect moments seem to slip by
And when I wake up
Tastes so sweet, like it was made up
This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion what it feels like, it feels like

Window tinted the glass
I don't know where I'm at
Letting go of the wheel like a basketcase
I don't know how to feel
I don't know what I meant
No, it's not really real when I'm lost in

And my expectations
Like poison, I know that
Stuck in this cycle
I'm fine though, I'm fine

This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion doesn't sit right
At every corner, there's a red light
Perfect moments seem to slip by
And when I wake up
Tastes so sweet, like it was made up
This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion what it feels like, it feels like

You know I always
Build it up just to be let down
Staring at another blank wall
I don't know what to believe now

This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion doesn't sit right
At every corner, there's a red light
Perfect moments seem to slip by
And when I wake up
Tastes so sweet, like it was made up
This isn't what I thought it'd be like
Just an illusion what it feels like, it feels like
