Wake Up (American Dream)

Full album available on audius

Keep knocking at the door the one you won't get in while this world becomes a wall around your mind
And in the process losing way too many friends seeking approval from those you should despise
You've signed a contract when it's just rotten deal but at this juncture you'll take what you can get
You think you're winning but you're losing everything where is your purpose, your pride your self respect

Like a song when its stuck in your head
Or a movie that will never end
Just like reality TV there's no point believing a system built on deceit

That's how I know that it's all a fucking lie
It's just for show and it's not even real life
Not even real life

So here you are again another choice to make as the judgment and the eyes turn to you
And with the audience so blissfully engaged you feel the pressure of not knowing what to do
Too bad that fitting in has now been pixelized your self worth ebbs and flows with your follower count
And if they gave a shit they might give you a call but human contact is a wall they can't surmount

Like a song when its stuck in your head
Or a movie that will never end
Just like reality TV there's no point believing a system built on deceit

That's how I know that it's all a fucking lie
It's just for show and it's not even real life

Keep on repeating the truth you think you see
Keep on believing what you've been told to believe
Just scratch the surface, no need for deep thinking
Wake up from the American dream

I think you should know that it's all a fucking lie
It's just for show and it's not even real life
Not even real life
