Is This Real

Time's runnin' out and I have been betrayed

Gotta cast my stone into the lake (it didn't work I didn't feel it sink in)

That's all it takes my son then you are safe

When the end comes everything's okay (we take it back you take it away)

Take my skin we're diving in

It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim

Theres a line drawn thin or so they tell me

I'll never know the difference if we sink or swim

Is it real the choices that we make (is it real)

The smiles that we fake (is it real)

I know it hurts but is it real

The choices that we make

The smiles that we fake for my own sake

I know it hurts but is it

I can't help feelin' like I've been betrayed

Shoulda cast that stone into the lake (stone into the lake)

Chased in the wrong direction led astray

And I know you don't believe a single word you say

(I can't believe that you can)

Take my skin we're diving in (we're diving in)

It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim

Theres a line drawn thin or so they tell me

I'll never know the difference if we sink or swim

Is it real the choices that we make (is it real)

The smiles that we fake (is it real)

I know it hurts but is it real

The choices that we make (is it real)

The smiles that we fake for my own sake

I know it hurts but is this real is this real

I don't want to buy into the lie

Stare up at the sky but is it real

Show me somethin' real

I don't want to buy into your lies

Stare up at the sky and say "I surrender myself for this

I'll take the blame (I'll take the blame)

I surrender myself for this I'll take the blame (oh oh )

For peace or war for rich or poor

For loss for gain for everything that I loved

I see I feel I've become one with words not real to me

So I'll stare in silence

Forward backwards

Just to realize we all fall down

Is it real the choices that we make (is it real)

The smiles that we fake (is it real)

Just tell me is this real (is it real)

The choices that we make (is it real)

The smiles that we fake for my own sake

I know it hurts but is this real is this real

Is it real

I need to know is this real
