No Tomatoes - Reality Lyrics

I've felt lost and broken
I've felt all my scars
I wish I could forget them
But you know they're who you are
They make me my own person
But I want to play a different part
I wish I was perfect
But that's not worked out so far

Reality you make my skies gray
I don't ever want to feel this way
You break my heart, you make it so hard
To live on knowing I can't break free

I wish I could escape my person
Be what you want me to be
That might not ever happen
I can't see me saving myself
I'll slip into a coma
So I don't have to see your doubt
Maybe there I'll find refuge
In a rest that doesn't break me down

Reality, you tear me apart
Chasing my dream has never felt so far
I know I can't be what you want to see
I can't be the star of a beautiful part
Reality I can't escape thee
For you make my life feel so dark

I know I'll never live up to my dream
Could never be the person I'd like to be
I could never equate to my king
Doesn't mean I should turn tail and flee
I'll change my path to make my time worth it
I'll save myself then help out another person
I'll make light of a situation to see a greater purpose
Maybe then we could all see a better

Reality it might be okay
We must save ourselves to be free
You might not be dark, you could be a spark
That lights a flame for our eternity
Our reality will be okay
We can all take our rightful place
