What Reality is This?

(Intro) Why, oh why are we here? The news, did you hear? They are coming after you all, Even if you just try to stand tall. (Verse 1) All the lies, all the hate, all the sin, Yesterday’s shadows darken today. People move along, hiding from within, Thinking it won't reach them, they stray. (Chorus) What reality is this? I feel so out of place. What reality is this? Everything seems wrong. After all the news, all the disgrace, How can we find a way to stay strong? Again, I ask: "What reality is this?" (Verse 2) It feels like the walls are closing in, They say I'm the bad one, the cause of dismay. "Just shut up, take this bull," they grin, What do you want from me? To obey? (Chorus) What reality is this? I feel so out of place. What reality is this? Everything seems wrong. After all the news, all the disgrace, How can we find a way to stay strong? Again, I ask: "What reality is this?" (Bridge) Who are you to tell me what to do, what to say? You're not living my life, I’m the one in this fray. I’m not dictating how you should live your day, So keep your distance, let me find my way. (Chorus) What reality is this? I feel so out of place. What reality is this? Everything seems wrong. After all the news, all the disgrace, How can we find a way to stay strong? Again, I ask: "What reality is this?" (Verse 3) Speak out, and they call you paranoid, Point it out, and they dismiss your say. Stand up, and they seek to avoid, Speak the truth, and they turn away. (Chorus) What reality is this? I feel so out of place. What reality is this? Everything seems wrong. After all the news, all the disgrace, How can we find a way to stay strong? Again, I ask: "What reality is this?" (Outro) How did we get to this point we’re in? What reality is this? This cannot be it. Some call it good, while others call it sin. What reality is this? I say, this cannot be it!
