[Intro]
Wait
[Verse 1: Lily, Haewon]
People love the boxes they put me in
Thinking they can put a pink bow on it to fix things (Ugh)
Cut out all the pieces that just don't fit
Isn't it weird no one else thinks it's toxic? (Ugh)
Wasteland, they're starin'
Feel the heat when I'm walking right past them
I'm craving interaction
Everywhere the clouds of dust block my vision
[Pre-Chorus: Sullyoon, Haewon]
God, it's so hot
So hard to breathe
And I try to run
I wanna be free (Ayy, they've reached me)
[Chorus: Kyujin, BAE]
I can move a mountain range, I don't need magic
We're just on another plane, you don't understand it
I could make the world change, start a new planet
But they can't stand it
[Post-Chorus: BAE]
Reality hurts
Reality hurts
[Verse 2: Jiwoo, Lily]
Dirt stuck to my feet, they keep on chasing me
They can't catch up to me
I leave them in the dust like, oh, I think I've chewed enough
Reality is tough, I try to bite but I can't seem to get through it
[Pre-Chorus: Jiwoo]
(Ugh) I don't want that
(Ugh) I don't need that
(Ugh) 'Cause I'm with my girlies, yah
[Chorus: BAE, Sullyoon]
I can move a mountain range, I don't need magic
We're just on another plane, you don't understand it
I could make the world change, start a new planet
But they can't stand it
[Post-Chorus: Sullyoon]
Reality hurts
Reality hurts
[Bridge: Haewon, Kyujin]
We keep rock and rollin' 'cause we're always gonna
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back, keep it going
I'm the antibody, yeah, I'm always gonna
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back, oh, you know it
[Chorus: Jiwoo, Haewon]
I can move a mountain range, I don't need magic
We're just on another plane, you don't understand it
I could make the world change, start a new planet
But they can't stand it
[Post-Chorus: Haewon, Lily]
Reality hurts
Reality hurts (Reality hurts, babe)
