selfstruggles

Tell me this isn't all just a dream
A convincing and detailed scheme
Tell me everything I know is real
The thoughts I think and the things that I feel
How can this really be the world that I've made
Everything I know is just one big masquerade
I've gotten lost in the maze that I've created
Always chasing after signs, often unrelated
I look in the mirror, not sure of what I see
A human face, but is that really me?
I pass by blank faces every day
Always so thoughtless, nothing to say
The words I speak sound so hollow and fake
Every breath I breathe feels like a mistake
I've always been the outcast never one to belong
Whenever I tried to fit in, it just felt so wrong
Slowly watching life unravel with helpless eyes
Pain and cruelty, a game where everyone dies
Surely I am just another pawn on the board
Moving blindly after an unknown reward
Reality feels like dreaming, the line is blurred
It doesn't feel real, not an action or a word
I've seen the glitches we're not meant to find
I lost the argument that it's all inside my mind
Could I wake up to see if it has all been a lie?
Give everything up and face the final goodbye.
Could it be worth more then what I would lose?
The choice would be mine, possible to refuse
With reality easy to create and define
Could I step past the imaginary line?
See the world that has been left untried
Face the truth of what waits on the other side
Tell me, is all of this really just a dream?
A convincing and detailed scheme.
Tell me, is anything I know real?
The thoughts I think, the things I feel.
