It’s Not Real focuses on the struggle to move from the sense of comfort or certainty reminiscing on the past elicits (and the potential stagnation in oneself that may result) versus the daunting process of pressing forward into the unknown of all that the future holds
[Verse 1]
Driven by fantasy
How do I get back to it once again
But the dream is all I have
I try to recreate the image
In my head it's all I see
But the flaws are all that's left
[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real
[Verse 1]
It's tempting to predict
The future but it's futile all the same
The past is all we have
And every time I try to
Replicate the signals in my brain
The flaws are all that's left
[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real
[Bridge]
What am I doing?
Why am I trying to forget you?
[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real
