Illusion

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 basket case
I don’t know how I feel
I don’t know what I meant
Know it’s not really real
When I'm lost in
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
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
