When Nothing's Real
Breaking Chains: A Journey to Escape a Life of Lies
Lyrics
I want to set fire to this world that I created
The desire to destroy the constructed world
And break loose from these chains that have kept me in prison again
Yearning to break free from restricting chains
I want this noose to explode that's wrapped around my throat
Wishing for the removal of a suffocating noose
'Cause these bones I've cast in stone have shackled me far too long
Feeling trapped by decisions made in the past
I've tried to change what cannot be changed
Attempting to alter what's unchangeable
Tried to run but still I remain
Efforts to escape but remaining stuck
How can I feel?
Questioning the ability to experience emotions
When nothing's real
A sense of unreality causing a lack of feeling
But I'm the only one whose to blame
Assuming responsibility for a life built on falsehoods
For this life of lies that I've made
Owning up to a fabricated existence
How can I feel?
Struggling to feel genuine emotions in a fabricated reality
When nothing's real
Feeling disconnected from reality, impacting emotions
The engine's running but she still won't go
A metaphor for stalled progress despite readiness
And this is far too reckless and I think that I am far too old
Feeling too old for risky endeavors
But the stars are a waste if there's no chance to take
Believing opportunities are pointless without risk
And all beauty a mistake if there's no place to escape
Questioning the value of beauty without an escape
I've tried to change what cannot be changed
Attempting change despite the impossibility
Tried to run but still I remain
Fruitless attempts to escape a stagnant situation
How can I feel?
Questioning emotional authenticity amidst unreal circumstances
When nothing's real
Feeling emotionally numb due to an unreal existence
But I'm the only one whose to blame
Accepting responsibility for a fabricated life
For this life of lies that I've made
Taking ownership of a life built on deceit
How can I feel?
Struggling to feel genuine emotions in an unreal life
When nothing's real
Sense of emotional detachment from a false reality
I've tried to change what cannot be changed
Attempting change in an unchangeable situation
Tried to run but still I remain
Futile attempts to escape a stuck state of being
How can I feel?
Questioning emotional authenticity amidst unreal circumstances
When nothing's real
Feeling emotionally numb due to an unreal existence
But I'm the only one whose to blame
Accepting responsibility for a fabricated life
For this life of lies that I've made
Owning up to a life built on deceit
How can I feel?
Struggling to feel genuine emotions in an unreal life
When nothing's real
Sense of emotional detachment from a false reality
