Reality isn't real

lyrics

It was never real clear which way to go
Doors open up for me and then I watch them slowly close
The sound, the sound of it slamming down
Is when I’d realize I lost what I had found
No recollection won’t be a re collection
The monotone reality seizing the inflection
The knowhow, the instinct, every familiar face
Became blank, it all became blank
As white as the sheet where I scratched my next day’s plans
Then I misplaced the world that was sweating in my hands
The hourglass is tilting back as I trembled in the sands
Soon I’ll rewind it all again, back to the reprimands
The demands, the boundaries, the lack of best to know
The last time that I’d show myself intact to never grow
Just a sad display that’s acting out an asshole’s severed soul
The real me will never show, that me will never show

It comes down to this
Reality is fake, only believe in what you make
It comes down to this
To meet god is just a death, to feel pain is in breath
It comes down to this
All you know is what you don’t, faith is frail to hope
It comes down to this
What you see ain’t always real, but it is when you can feel

These lights have grown dim
As I walk towards the door, I wonder if they know him
That me I thought I was and never became
Let them tell me who I am, then I let it remain
Why did I have them shape me?
Manufractured a mold and they produced a fraud
If I was in a dream, I’d wake me
No need for enticement, no use for a god
I willingly let the curtain close before my final act
Pulled my courage from the velvet ropes and I couldn’t hide the fact
My sound was so detuned that I had to deny the track
From being played for the public eye, now I must rewind it back
The fantasy, the mirage, the oasis, the refuge
The happy place, I’d like to make my personal test tube
Where I gather my culture and grow a new me to confess to
Maybe then I’ll believe in that me more than the one I sent you
