Lock the doors, close the blinds, paint the windows. Maybe in time, this’ll pass. You’ll never know.
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
Stay inside, close your eyes, cover your ears.
Let the world pass you by. Dwell on your fears.
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
Stick your head in the sand. Just stop moving. If you try, then you’ll fail. What’s the point then?
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
It feels good. Knowing that it doesn’t hurt you. The daily routines of giving up. They comfort you.
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
Now you’re ready to assimilate.
Never caring about others fate.
Pass the days without a caring eye.
Living life wearing your disguise.
What do you care?
It doesn’t matter because
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
The truth hurts way too much.
Tell me a lie. Tell me a lie.
The truth seems so surreal.
Can’t be real. Can’t be real.
Now you’re happy feeling safe.
Now you’re happy feeling safe.
Now you’re happy feeling safe.
Reality deficiency.
