Reality Lyrics by Project Vela

Kenopsia

2019

[Intro]
Is this reality?
‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be
Nothing more than a terrifying dream

[Verse 1]
Your breath is short, life is fleeting
I’m not ready for mine to take on a different meaning
Discretion of death, indiscriminate and capricious
Like saying fuck it, let’s give a vicious
Pull at the strings of a puppet
That looks and acts and sounds like me
‘Cause I’m the creator, the actor, the animator
When everything in life gets harder
We’ll both suffer the fate of a stone dropped in water

[Chorus]
Is this reality?
‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be
Nothing more than a terrifying dream
Is this reality?
‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be
Nothing more than a terrifying dream

[Verse 2]
Crafting a persona, putting on a new face
I’m taking back control of this inanimate case
Of something that used to smile, something that used to laugh Obsessed with a reality that I can’t go back
Down the hatch goes all the pain that ends up stuck in my throat
I want to push my fingers down inside to make me throw
Up all the hurt, up all the doubt, you know it’s gotta come out
But the way we live this life is in pain

[Chorus]
Is this reality?
‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be
Nothing more than a terrifying dream
Is this reality?
‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be
Nothing more than a terrifying dream

[Verse 3]
Vibrant in an instant, ghost-adjacent the next
A photo captures life but ignores death’s effects
A spark in the eyes, a gleam in the smile
Makes it seem like life might be normal for a while, but it’s not
The norm is now a fight and a struggle
Hidden behind a slight joke, it’s a juggling act
Between now and eventual like playing in the rain
And the sun hits a puddle, it evaporates and dissipates
Turns out this life is nothing great without you

[Bridge]
Everything ripped away
It’s harder every day
There’s nothing left to say
I need you with me
Everything ripped away
It’s harder every day
There’s nothing left to say
I need you with me

[Outro]
Everything ripped away (Is this reality?)
It’s harder every day (‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be)
There’s nothing left to say (Nothing more than a terrifying dream)
I need you with me
Everything ripped away (Is this reality?)
It’s harder every day (‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be)
There’s nothing left to say (Nothing more than a terrifying dream)
I need you with me

Is this reality?
