This Illusion

do you seem to believe this illusion
more than the normal amount
are you so deep in shallow confusion
that you're confused what it's about
we never realize that anything happens
unless it happens to end
with an awkward and weird interaction
not really sure if we're still friends
we don't know if we'll know if it's over
until it's already done
like it isn't until we grow older
when we realize we were so young
when it goes around
I assume it will soon
come back around
when it doesn't I feel
like a sad clown
silly smile is upside down
there is no easy way to make it harder
no lie is never untrue
it's annoying that no one is bothered
no way around except straight through
we forgot everything we remembered
always end up at the start
maybe manage to keep it together
even as we're drifting apart

Part Of The Show
04:34

I'm giving up giving a fuck about it
I'm insecure and full of fear without it
whether I do or don't I'm damned
I knew you wouldn't understand
why does it seem like everyone's against me
passive aggressive simultaneously
if you're not sure if I'm for real
well then you now know how I feel
I don't know
what's part of the show
constantly making it confusing
trying too hard to be amusing
I used to like it now I fucking hate it
I don't remember how I got so jaded
I'm getting better every day
at finding better things to hate
I thought the humor would've eased the tension
and I'll admit I wanted the attention
I guess I laid it on too thick
now everyone thinks I'm a dick
I don't know
what's part of the show
either I'm blazing a new trail
or it's an epic fucking fail
or it's a little bit of both

Algorithms
04:44
|

you've got nothing to say
you say it anyway
several times every day
notifications exploding
on account of it
I don't know what to say
I can't articulate
how it sounds in my brain
maybe I better delete it
or change privacy
everybody complains
about everything
slowly going insane
algorithms have taken
all my friends away
do you actually care
about the shit you share
are you even aware
everyone already saw that
meme two weeks ago
you claim everyone's fake
but you won't take a break
until after you make sure
that they know they can still
catch you on instagram
everybody complains
about everything
slowly going insane
algorithms have taken
all my friends away

Doesn't It Seem
05:34
|
|||
|
take a look around
nothing to see here
nothing for me here anymore
or maybe there never was
why did I think so
why did I make so many mistakes
like the one I'm making now
can't take them back
after the fact
so I guess I'll try
not to think about
how I was wrong
and how everyone
knew all along
and doesn't it seem
like I never was around
seems like nobody acknowledges
a time before today
thought by now they would be wondering
why I could not stay
the tomorrow they promised us
never came around
and we've already lost everything
just yesterday we found
and doesn't it seem
like I never was around

Follow
03:24
|
|||
|
follow all of your dreams
that lead you to nowhere
fall apart at the seams
and act like you don't care
not so sure anymore
if you really want to settle the score
and if you said it before
I must not have been there
and it makes no difference
what you planned on doing with your life
I'm still running
a step behind
not quite caught up with you
maybe scared of
what I might find
and somewhat skeptical too
because I don't know
what I'm doing
was I supposed to have
thought of it by now
wonder how would you know
if you're on the right track
wonder where would you go
and wonder what you'd pack
you don't want to believe
you don't want to seem too dumb or naive
so just underachieve
and claim that you're held back
because it's unrealistic
to assume you'll make it if you try
some will call it
a waste of time
but it's something to do
might be crazy
I might be fine
I guess I don't have a clue
where in the hell
this is going
don't try to tell me
I'll figure something out

Wrong Side Of Bed
05:07
|
|||
|
what's on your mind
you're always preoccupied
could have let the small stuff slide
but you never really tried
what's in your head
all the things you should have said
other lives you could have led
but you lived this one instead
you can lose your composure
when things go dead wrong
or you're calm and collected
and say life goes on
it depends on what side of the bed
you woke up on
the wrong side again
I got up on the wrong side again
don't go so fast
how long will this feeling last
taking everything as fact
not quite sure how to react
call it a day
who would notice anyway
it's okay not to be okay
at least that's what they always say
you can lose your composure
when things go dead wrong
or you're calm and collected
and say life goes on
it depends on what side of the bed
you woke up on
the wrong side again
I got up on the wrong side of bed

Rabbit Holes
06:06
|

|
all night long
falling down
rabbit holes
start thinking about something
can't stop thinking about it
start thinking about something
can't stop thinking about it
won't let it go though I know
I'm better off without it
start thinking about something
can't stop thinking about it
compulsively obsessed with
my obsessive compulsions
compulsively obsessed with
my obsessive compulsions
don't even know if I'm really
even feeling real emotions
compulsivity obsessed with
my obsessive compulsions
in between alternate timelines
this is not even my real life
look I know how ridiculous this sounds
but what if this really all a simulation
quickly rendered to resemble a town
but everybody looping through
the same situations
tell me I shouldn't worry about
another rabbit hole I shouldn't go down
but really it's something I wasn't
supposed to figure out
start thinking about something
can't stop thinking about it
start thinking about something
can't stop thinking about it
can't stop thinking about it
can't stop thinking about it
can't stop thinking
can't stop thinking
can't stop thinking about it

Nightmares
05:03
|
|||
|
all of my dreams turn into nightmares
I never seem to realize at first
then everything gets worse
all of the fears down inside me
reappear when I am not awake
I never know it's fake
and even if it doesn't happen
it still exists only inside my mind
and it's there all the time
abstract feelings of sadness I can't explain
no one sees me and I can't recall my name
conversations with people who've passed away
more ashamed than afraid
all of my dreams turn into nightmares
