lyrics

Make Believe

I try to think but instead the words are coming out my mouth,
I'm full of doubt, brain's just trying 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 ambition.

Everything that you feel is,
Everything that is real is.
Everything that is real is,
Everything 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 want 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?
What will you give up to be free again?
Thoughts echoing in your mind, verbatim,
To the things that you see outside indicating,
The way that you feel and the way that you're waiting,
For something, it's nothing, your doubt overtaking.
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?
What will you give up to be free again?
Thoughts echoing in your mind, verbatim,
To the things that you see outside indicating,
The way that you feel is the way that you're waiting,
For something, it's nothing, your doubt overtaking.

Everything you think that is real that you feel is.
