Reality Lyrics

Hello, my old friend

It's been a long time

Just reaching out to see how you've been

Digital windows

A view from outside

Of this little world that I've been locked in

Trying to quiet my mind in the crowd

I'm surrounded by voices, screaming aloud

I'm sure it's nothing, though

And I'll come around

But reality is getting me down

So much to talk about

And so little good

Roe v. Wade, the war in Ukraine

Johnny and Amber

I know what I should

Distracted by celebrity pain

Trying to see my reflection in crowds

But they mirror a hate that I can't see around

The state of my union is not very proud

Reality is getting me down

It shouldn't happen

Well not every day

So many angels taken to wing

Our fearless leaders

Lament and they pray

Like that would really solve anything

Our tales of triumph are driven by pain

Children have to be heroes, adults playing games

Nobody ever gets held to account

Reality is getting me down

Goodbye, my old friend

I'm sorry I cried

Maybe it's survivor's guilt

So many have died

I'm sure it's nothing, though

And I'll come around

But reality is getting me down

Reality is getting me down

Reality is getting me down

Reality is getting me down...
