[Verse 1] People are just too superficial Really, how long will it be like this? Ignoring you, pretending they don't hear Selective deafness, convenient disappear I'm not complaining, even if I am Fuck them for being like this [Chorus] Hear what you wanna hear Filter out the rest Shallow conversations, empty chest Hear what you wanna hear Block out all the noise That doesn't fit your perfect little void [Verse 2] Talking at the walls, talking at the air They look right through you like you're not there Nodding along but nothing's going in Surface level, paper-thin Colors bleeding, vision splits Reality's a game and they're full of shit [Pre-Chorus] How long? How long? Will we dance this dance? Pretending we connect When we never had a chance [Chorus] Hear what you wanna hear Filter out the rest Shallow conversations, empty chest Hear what you wanna hear Block out all the noise That doesn't fit your perfect little void [Bridge] Spinning spinning spinning round Everyone's so fucking profound On the surface, in their heads But it's hollow, it's all dead Kaleidoscope of fake concern Watch them smile while bridges burn [Verse 3] I'm not complaining, I'm just saying Fuck them for playing deaf and blind Cherry-picking what feels right Leaving truth behind How long will it be like this? Forever, probably People drowning in their bliss Of selective empathy [Outro] Hear what you wanna hear Hear what you wanna hear Ignore the scream Ignore the fear Hear what you wanna hear
