[Verse]
Take a piece of this world break it
Find our place in the tragic
Contemplate all the questions we face
Never get the answers
Destroy all that we love here
Clinging to the morals of ancient tales
Fascination with tragedy
Will find ourselves the next story
[Chorus]
The reality before us
Doesn't seem so real
Peel back the layers
To see its mankind
The reality before us
Doesn't have to be
Push past the layers
And see it's you and me
[Verse]
Vicarious we get our thrills
Imagine we are anywhere
Fear the place that we love most
But we don't want to be too close
We wish to always shield our eyes
And hum sweet songs to be disguised
Follow all the trends of men before
Follow all their feet to empty shores
[Chorus]
The reality before us
Doesn't seem so real
Peel back the layers
To see its mankind
The reality before us
Doesn't have to be
Push past the layers
And see it's you and me
It's you and me (2x)
[Bridge]
It's your fault I'm to blame
Point your finger
I'll do the same
Our future darkens
While we play this game
[Verse]
Spinning out of control
We're hidden from the light
Our instinct tells us to survive
But to survive we must go against
Our instinct
Our nature is taking over
Fighting to be the last one here
Seems to be the goal
Only the strong survive
So who will all survive
[Chorus]
The reality before us
Doesn't seem so real
Peel back the layers
To see its mankind
The reality before us
Doesn't have to be
Push past the layers
And see it's you and me
