lyrics

Am I just faking everything just to show myself as some other’s dream?
I don’t mean love but shallow culture’s dreams tell me “live like this” but that’s killing me.
Put on faces will one mask stick and I’ll soon be broken torn at the seams.
Breaking down, woah just for the moment but is it deeper, not just a meme?

Try to feign what, oh what I think, that these people will want from me?
Am I drowning outside myself or am I just protecting the real me?

No more drinking I’m through pretending I hate myself cause I’m not that green,
It’s not that simple just what I need right now is someone who’s already me.
No more friction with what I can’t change, just float on forward don’t part the sea.
Life could change if we recognize that that world we live in could still be free.

See that this world is shallow, wonder if, I’m becoming a part of it all?
Say you care but don’t ask how I’m feeling and I still complain but don’t try to reveal it.

Sometimes feel I’m floating through this life without a goal,
Got to find a way to feed my mind and feed my soul.
Fake it all for money for a dream we’ve all been told,
Happiness eludes us and this lie will take its toll.

Hold me in your cubicle to watch your profits grow,
Waste our minds our passions till we’ve nothing left to show.

Life is good I’m just feeling down oh and sometimes, can change everything there’s no telling,
Feeling is something that’s more than a word so don’t be scared, when these feelings are overwhelming.
Melancholy but somehow high above the ground, and soon we’ll be buying what you’re selling.
