"Optical Delusions" lyrics

"Optical Delusions"

We've traded standards for empathy
And now we've lost control
Let too many in
They claim to be friends
They're here, but they have no soul

The cloth that you're cut from
I pray never touches my skin
I put my trust in you
And that's where my trouble begins

Image is your everything
Your mindset is toxic
I was searching for community
You're only here for the optics

That's why I get, what I get
And you do what you do
Your outfit can't hide your intentions
That we know are untrue
