Everything that is the world is declining
I can’t find my place in this kind of place
Don’t look at me to be your source of positivity
All Im feeling is an abundance of negativity
And all its been for a while now is tears and hate
And its this doomed world that if Im still alive I can’t escape
I cannot see why people even try anymore
I see them being fakes and liars and what for?
The only way to go on
Is to be a lie
The only way to survive
Is to be a lie
They speak in their politically correct bullshit
They talk like they really care
They know to move forward that’s what they gotta be
In this society of actors they’ve gotta get their share
Society taught them so well just what to do
Society says be this, not you
The only way to make it
Is to be a lie
The only way is to fake it
Be a lie
The only way to be
Is to be not you
The only way is to fake it
That’s the only way you’ll make it
I don’t fucking care what they say is right
There is no true right in a world of wrong
I don’t fucking care about putting on some dumb, fake act
So if I feel hate then I’ll let it out
So if I feel sad I won’t paint on a smile
Im not going to act like I care for everyone
For I hate more than I care for
Love is special because most don’t matter to me
In the crowd of the ones I hate, love is the speck of beauty
The speck of love for the few that anything for them I would do
The bit of bright color in the black
I used to feel a love so strong
I’d give anything to have that feeling back
Without it everything is always wrong
Its rare for people to really care
To really, truly love
Society taught them so well what to do
To be a fake, stray from their real feelings, to not be true
The only way to make it
Is to be a lie
The only way is to fake it
Be a lie
The only way to be
Is to be not you
The only way is to fake it
That’s the only way you’ll make it
We pretend the world is alive and well while we walk on its grave
We killed it but we like to think its still ok
We make ourselves our very own slaves
While the planet we killed rots away
Its a false, sad place
Where people put on their best fake face
Pretend the world is not dead
Pretend your real
Pretend its not as bad as it seems to be
Pretend that the way to be is the way society wants you to be
The only way to make it
Is to be a lie
The only way is to fake it
Be a lie
The only way to be
Is to be not you
The only way is to fake it
But none of us will make it
We’re just prolonging the inevitable
The only way is to end us
The only way, is none of us
The only way is to end us
The only way, is none of us
Society says be a lie
Society makes it so the only way to make it
Is to fake it
