I'm stuck in an optical illusion and I can't get out help me

Lyrics: [Intro – Voicemail style, grainy and low-quality] “Hey… it’s me. I think I’m losing track of what’s real again. Or maybe I never knew. Anyway... if you hear this—don’t follow me in.” --- [Verse 1] I saw myself in the checkout line Buying things I didn’t need with a face that wasn’t mine Somebody smiled like they knew the joke But I forgot the punchline as soon as I spoke The ceiling blinked, the floor caved in There’s wallpaper where my thoughts had been I reached for love, but touched a screen Guess nothing’s real in this machine --- [Chorus] I’m stuck in an optical illusion and I can’t get out—help me Trapped in a house where the mirrors shout My voice is looped on repeat Like a voicemail I forgot to delete I'm stuck in an optical illusion, where time folds in And I keep kissing ghosts made of serotonin “Wake up,” I wrote on my hand in pen But it fades each time I try again --- [Verse 2] I talked to someone I used to be He said, “You're not me, but I miss me deeply” I swear I saw the sky unplug Heaven’s a screen saver, stuck on a shrug I tried the door but it’s just a frame Tried to feel joy but it just feels... tame They told me truth comes with a twist And now I'm dancing in a plot that don’t exist --- [Chorus] I’m stuck in an optical illusion and I can’t get out—help me Reality’s reruns playing without me There’s static where I used to dream Now I sleepwalk through someone else’s meme I'm stuck in an optical illusion, it loops too clean And I keep chasing highs that were never seen “Stay still,” I whispered to my doubt But even my shadow’s walking out --- [Bridge – Spoken, dreamlike over reversed piano chords] "You ever feel like you’re just... buffering? Like the whole world’s waiting on a signal That never comes? Same here." --- [Outro – Melancholy, fading out like a warped tape] If you find me, don’t wake me up Let me stay lost in the made-up stuff There’s peace in not knowing what it’s about Just don’t follow me in—I can’t get out
