Living A Lie
For the Fallen Dreams Lyrics

Don't take this the wrong way
Please don't misunderstand what I'm about to say

I feel like I'm drowning
I'm overwhelmed with emotion and struggling to keep my head above water

Surrounded by takers in a world overcrownded
I'm surrounded by people who only take and never give, in a world that's too full of them

Surrounded by liars don't get me started
I'm fed up with being surrounded by dishonest people, I could go on and on about it

Let's see who gets further, half, or wholehearted
I'm curious to see who will succeed in life, those who only give part of themselves or those who give their all

Don't take this for granted
Don't overlook or underestimate the value of what I'm saying

I know this is subjective
I understand that this is my personal opinion and others may see things differently

Take what's been handed, roll with the punches
Accept the circumstances you've been given and adapt to the changes and challenges that come your way

Let's see who's left standing, or what could be mended
I'm interested to see who will persevere and who will need to make changes in order to succeed

If life is a joke, I won't be offended
If life is unpredictable and things don't go as planned, I won't be surprised or upset

Trust me when I say that this is not the way
Believe me when I tell you that the current situation is not ideal

It's not the way
The current path is not the right one

I've done all my time for all of your crimes
I've endured a lot of hardship for mistakes that others have made

It's not in the rhymes I write after line
It's not in the lyrics I create, but in the reality of the situation

It's in the lies you've lied time, after time
The problem lies in the fact that you keep telling lies over and over again

I feel sick to my stomach for all these lines that have been written
I'm disgusted by all the lies that have been spread and written down

I feel sick to my stomach for all the lies that have been given
I feel nauseous thinking about all the falsehoods that have been told

In my defense, can you see what I'm up against
I have my reasons for my actions, can you understand the challenges I'm facing

I want more
I aspire for greater things, I want to be more successful

Never laid to rest until this all makes sense
I won't stop thinking or trying until I understand the situation

In my head, in my thoughts everything has a cost
I'm aware that every decision I make or thought I have has a consequence or price

All of this time, we've been living a lie
We've been living a false reality for all of this time

In your defense, might as well be laid to rest
Your excuses for your actions are not valid or plausible

Nothing more, nothing less
It's exactly what it is, nothing more and nothing less

Doesn't matter if it even makes sense in your head
It doesn't matter if you can comprehend the situation or not
