lyrics

Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions

Necessary illusions they play on my mind
Causing confusion that seek and you’ll find
Necessary illusions that smoke and that mirror
Causing confusion look here nah look here
Ahhh

Who are you when there's no one looking
Riddles and fictions
Forced perspective and contradictions
Pseudoscience and a whole lotta ass
Life comes fast
Tricks for the trade
Terrorized the people
Throw them in a cage straw man - hay
Necessary to keep the face
Keep the pace
Keep us with them hands up
Democracy for rich elite
And their propaganda
Been kicking that sand up
Can't see
Got us fucked up
But we gotta get paid so avoid and escape
Hope through a fantasy snapped outta luck
Slapped on a filter
Still stay rough
Cause it's baked in the cake
Tweaking my recipes
Illusions get the best of me
Call it a necessity

Necessary illusions they play on my mind
Causing confusion that seek and you’ll find
Necessary illusions that smoke and mirror
Causing confusion look here nah look here
Ahhh

Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions
Necessary illusions

Who are you when there's no-one looking
Riddles and fiction
Forced perspective and contradiction
Pseudoscience and a whole lot of ass
