[Verse] Take a piece of this world break it Find our place in the tragic Contemplate all the questions we face Never get the answers Destroy all that we love here Clinging to the morals of ancient tales Fascination with tragedy Will find ourselves the next story [Chorus] The reality before us Doesn't seem so real Peel back the layers To see its mankind The reality before us Doesn't have to be Push past the layers And see it's you and me [Verse] Vicarious we get our thrills Imagine we are anywhere Fear the place that we love most But we don't want to be too close We wish to always shield our eyes And hum sweet songs to be disguised Follow all the trends of men before Follow all their feet to empty shores [Chorus] The reality before us
Doesn't seem so real Peel back the layers To see its mankind The reality before us Doesn't have to be Push past the layers And see it's you and me It's you and me (2x) [Bridge] It's your fault I'm to blame Point your finger I'll do the same Our future darkens While we play this game [Verse] Spinning out of control We're hidden from the light Our instinct tells us to survive But to survive we must go against Our instinct Our nature is taking over Fighting to be the last one here Seems to be the goal Only the strong survive So who will all survive [Chorus] The reality before us Doesn't seem so real Peel back the layers To see its mankind The reality before us Doesn't have to be Push past the layers And see it's you and me
