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
