Reason and Reality Lyrics by Riley Aquilano

Dreams are dangerous. Let them decay.

2017

[Refrain]
Decayed, faith in an idol
Loose talk, still call ‘em prideful
Sheep skin, made to a bible
IX, Judecca devil
ID, doomed to inferno
Mad man, villain the grinder
Fresh meat, fed to the lions
Who cares just call him a martyr
[Verse 1]
We are born just to serve until we die
They promise so many things but they lie
Haven’t you ever thought that you could get the greatness?
Face it, mind is sedated
Lately, loose change looking like a franklin
Frankly, money is the dream of the aimless
Heinous
When Your mind never sleeps and your body don’t wake
Paralyze your dreams to avoid the heartbreak
Money is a greed that we so desire
When shit hits the fan even your friend will take a cut of money to walk in wired
[Chorus]
This is not America
This is not America
Where the hell are we all?
Who the hell have we become?
[Verse 2]
Comma comma just a dream
Lying cheating plot a scheme
Red and Blue are cut by white
Drop the peace and start a fight
Haven’t you ever thought that you could medicate it
Face it, drugs are the gateway
Lately, loose change not enough to pay it
Frankly, dying for the high is the basis
Brainless
Submit to the numbers that control you
That 5 by 5 to 9 is the future
But money is a greed that we so desire that
When shit hits the fan even your friend will take a cut of money to walk in wired
[Chorus]
This is not America
This is not America
Where the hell are we all?
Who the hell have we become?
[Refrain]
Decayed, faith in an idol
Loose talk, still call ‘em prideful
Sheep skin, made to a bible
IX, Judecca devil
ID, doomed to inferno
Mad man, villain the grinder
Fresh meat, fed to the lions
Who cares just call him a martyr
[Outro]
2012. 7th Grade. Something’s wrong, Casey can’t seem to stay happy. Casey still has friends, a good home, and loving parents, but can’t seem to shake this terrible feeling. It couldn’t be depression! Right? Casey was clearly stronger than that. Not wanting to seem weird or weak, Casey hides these feelings and acts like nothing is wrong. Maybe it would all stop. If only that worked. Those next few years only served to prove Casey wrong. Every week Casey would wake up tired, go to school, passively listen in class, and go home. On weekends, Casey would stay at home and refuse to hang out with friends. This routine became cemented until Casey couldn’t stand it anymore
