Lyrics:

Imitation Road
Look inside the pixels where we reside, in circuits that we confide
Help decide on your new rendered bride beaming synthetic pride

Deepfake Dancing with your sisters grin
Dead stars singing don’t feel a thing

Do as I say but not as I code
down on imitation road

Chorus:
Get out of my head Get out of my house
I’m not that guy, but trust in what you see is dead

You reprise the virtue that I revise, In memories before disguise
Help provide for your new virtual eyes, fiction that’s customized

Robots dancing at the data array
Dead art, mixed new from the grave
Do as I say but not as I code
down on imitation road

Chorus:
Get out of my head get out of my house
I’m not that guy, but trust in what you see is dead

Outro
It’s a brand new age, from the seeds we sowed
It’s the slowest lie to ever take hold,
In the neon glow and synthetic skies,
In the made up girl selling digital lies.
It’s the perfect scream with the phony lust
I can’t tell anymore what senses to trust

Not a bad song - the version you have is distorted - the instrumentation is quite unlistenable to me.

it's not distorting here on car radio studio monitors or iPhone AirPods pros. Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: hasn't distorted for anyone else so I'm guessing it's your end.

It is very LOUD lol!
I like "up front" drumz, but holy crap!
Beyond that, I like the tone, mood, and gist of the lyric a lot! ;)
 
Added vocals in the intro. Just got to sing a different second verse and I think this is done unless anything jumps out at anyone.

Cool, I liked the subject matter. Well executed. Very digital feel which I think is the point! Only critique would be to cut some low-mid mud to make things a little clearer and let it breathe if that makes sense. Enjoyed it, nice work!

cut some mud added a bit of clarity reflected in current mixes. Thanks. also added a feedback guitar in intro on right that is tuned to rise in pitch sounds like a keyboard now.
 
Cool vibe to the song.

I like the clean rhythm guitar on the right. Oh, it's on the left too. At least in spots.

Synths are cool.

Bass is a bit too forward in the mix. Maybe the kick too. Snare is a bit far back.

The heavy reverb on the vocal makes it difficult to hear the lyrics in spots. But that reverb adds to the vibe. So I guess I'd keep it where it is.

Thanks for the kind words. I bought the bass down 1.5 db and cut some low end from the kick (it might need more). Let me know if those issues still jump out at you.
