Make Believe
Escaping the Chains of Make-Believe
Lyrics
I feel like I'm lost somewhere in the middle of nowhere
I feel disoriented, as if I'm in a place with no clear direction or purpose.
And when I open my eyes, I got no place to stare
When I try to focus, there's nothing meaningful to look at or aim for.
Maybe I woke up too early, so I go back to bed,
Perhaps it's too early for me to confront reality, so I retreat to avoid it.
My body's weak and I'm miles away
Physically and mentally distant or detached from where I should be.
I won't go to work today, today is like just yesterday
I refuse to engage in the routine of daily life because every day feels the same.
And I ain't gonna take that winding way to get my own happiness
I won't follow a complicated or convoluted path to find happiness.
'cause I'm insane and my chains are hurting me
My mental state is troubled, and the things that bind me are causing pain.
I think I'm tired of this, Tired of this ...
I'm exhausted and fed up with this situation.
Living in a world of make believe,
Existing within a fantasy or illusionary world.
That's the way you make things go
That's how you control and manipulate circumstances.
And I ain't gonna let you get me
I won't allow you to influence or control me.
So I quit and I return to my self-made universe
I choose to detach and create my own separate reality.
Cause you're not in it
You are not a part of this self-created reality I'm retreating to.
Without your pills and your chemicals my pleasure is all
Without reliance on external substances, I find true satisfaction.
You pretend to be free in this beautiful world,
You pretend to have freedom in this appealing world, but it's an illusion.
I leave it all to you
I relinquish control and responsibility to you.
You can destroy it, break it in two
You have the power to destruct or damage everything.
Living in a world of make believe,
Engaging in a world that's not based on reality.
That's the way you make things go
That's your method of orchestrating situations.
And I ain't gonna let you get me
I won't allow your influence or control.
I stop working and start running, but I run from you
I cease regular activities to avoid you.
I stop running and start dreaming, but I dream of you
Trying to escape you through dreams but still thinking of you.
I stop dreaming and start flying, now I'm flying over you
Even in flight (freedom), you're still present in my thoughts.
Living in a world of make believe,
Living within an artificial and fabricated world.
That's the way you make things go
That's how you dictate the course of events.
And I ain't gonna let you get me
I won't allow your control over me.
