Lyrics
The Reality
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These streets are crowded
With cowards disguised as men
They are paying no consequence for their actions
So we'll all give in
I say the same things
Over and over and over again
But you act like you've never heard them
We were created to set an example
So what is this, what is this?
This is the same old story
This is the same old scene
We're living our lives right out of a magazine
I guess we'll never know!
Have we gone from little to less
To nothing at all, nothing at all?
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been
How good it could have been!
Savor every breath that enters your lungs
I promise it won't last forever
And by the time you realize you were wrong
You'll be far gone
Savor every breath that enters your lungs
I promise it won't last forever
And by the time you realize you were wrong
You'll be far gone.!
Follow me or back out now
Follow me with all your heart
Or back out, back out now!
We all swim in a sea of pride
Where character is rare
(Where character is rare)
With every passing day, It only gets worse
And no one seems to care
We all die wondering what if I-
What if I would have tried?
And while you're begging for life on you knees
You'll realize you were never happy!
Have we gone from little to less
To nothing at all, nothing at all?
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been
The clouds begin to move in rhythm
There is a storm in the sky
I will cause a disaster
Create an earthquake
And watch as you shake
I will cause a disaster
Watch as you shake!
We all die wondering what if I-
What if I would have tried?
What if I would have tried?
I guess we'll never know!
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been
How good it could have been!
