Illusion Lyrics by Self Critic

Career Failure Vol. 1

2018

[Intro - El Nani]

You need help? El Nani is the solution
El Nani needs help? He's just an illusion

[Chorus - Self Critic]

When people need me to do something for them
Denys is the man
But whenever time comes when I'm down and want some help from them
Nobody gives a damn

[Verse - El Nani]

"El Nani can choke on his own spit, overdose from a coke hit
Lie comatose on the street's asphalt and die feeling lonely and home sick
He won't fit anywhere at any moment, an enlightenment road trip
Will not help him determine what is making his soul tick; there's a damn I don't give"
That's what's really going on in everybody's minds, how else can one explain the times everybody's kind
Then when the time is right you get knifed in the back of your heart, and all the benevolent pretend it's fine
Is it my mistake I wasn't manufactured in the United States?
It's depressing how a mere combination of letters black on white dictates what your life awaits
The proof is in my doomed demise, dismal paperwork ruins lives
No matter how hard I worked, all my heart had earned were the stupid lies
Promises to help me if I do this task everybody considers a nuisance as
Aha, right... Do the math

[Chorus]
