lyrics

Make Believe

I try to think but instead the words are coming out my mouth,
I’m full of doubt, brain’s just tryin’ to figure it out.
I try to act like you and I have been here before but my palms are sweaty
And I’m edging for the door.
They’re staring us down with grey eyes of steel,
The bills that we show are the cards that we deal,
Laughing at our efforts as we’re trying to be heard because they know that it’s designed so what we say becomes our murder.
There’s a fine line between make believe and reality,
We make you believe what we tell you - it’s all you see.
Innocence is bliss until it hits you in the face,
Wisdom is a choice that every person has to make.
Conversations fly by like birds in the wind as we’re trapped in our prisons by our debts and our whims.
We think that we’re free but we’re slaves to the system,
Trapped by our own ambitions.

Every thing that you feel is,
Every thing that is real is,
Every thing that is real is,
Every thing that you feel is.

You’ve got two ears and one mouth so use them proportionately,
Every time you speak you’re distorting the story.
Information is a virus, that spreads like wildfire,
Everyone wants to teach, to the prospective buyers.
Dig for the roots before you reach for the sky because there’s nothing in between except lies and lies and lies.
Everything you think that is real that you feel is.

We’re born free but we build our own cages
As we grow older yeah as we are aging,
What is your willingness to accept change?
And what will you give up to be free again?
Thoughts echoin’ in my mind verbatim
To the things that you see, outside indicating,
The way that you feel is that way that you’re waiting
For something, it’s nothing, your doubt overtaking.

Everything you think that is real that you feel is.
