Real World

[Verse 1]
I woke up on this side
I thought it was a dream
At first, we learned to walk then learned to scream
You can't understand
When you're fed from a TV screen
And you can't see the things that I can see

[Pre-Chorus]
But I forget
That you thank God and pray
Some things just never stay
And we all just slip away

[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I look for some hope
In every face, there's a vacant stare
The shadows come, but no one seems to care
The darkness floods
Every light that could promise change
She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain
But blood is pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere I know
That I'm not all alone
With this bated breath I hold
My lungs want to explode

[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh
This can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh

[Bridge]
Just as soon as we see
Every flaw and every need, we'll understand
And for the first time (Time)
A child to a man says only pure words that he can
And he's too late, this man, he knows it, he said
With all emotions set aside, "In a whisper, say goodbye"

[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in now just to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh
This can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh
This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world now
Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh
