Fake It 'Til You Make It
One, two, three
Has anybody ever told you life just isn't fair?
And if you're getting everything you want
Well, you're just barely getting there
It's easier to spout out platitudes
Than to look into your candy-coated mirror
And see it's more than just a mood
You think I'm joking when I say I'm crazy
You think I'm crazy when I say I'm not
But...
I'm not trying to have an existential crisis
But I could do without the advice
'Cause it's not easy being me
But it's much harder being a spectacle
My life is upside-down
I'm on the first train out to Crazy Town
There are people worse off, but they can take it
Just gotta fake it 'til I make it
I've been told too many times
"It's always been this way"
Here is where you struggle for your first breath
And here is where you'll stay
You're stuck inside this room without a door
And the goal is just to fight the good fight
And stay alive 'til you can't anymore
You think I'm joking when I say I'm crazy
You think I'm crazy when I say I'm not
But...
I'm not trying to have an existential crisis
But I could do without the advice
'Cause it's not easy being me
But it's much harder being a spectacle
My life is upside-down
I'm on the first train out to Crazy Town
There are people worse off, but they can take it
Just gotta fake it 'til I make it
And once you figure out there's no back door
You fall down on your knees, face to the floor
And all there's left to do is just implore
And beg for something stronger
I wonder if they're even keeping score?
I tried to carry on, but now what for?
And I'm not even trying anymore
Like...
I'm not trying to have an existential crisis
But I could do without the advice
'Cause it's not easy being me
But it's much harder being a spectacle
My life is upside-down
I'm on the first train out to Crazy Town
There are people worse off, but they can take it
Or maybe just break it
I'm not trying to make a grab for your attention
But what would even be the big problem with that?
"The squeaky wheel gets the oil", they say
(I'm not trying to have an existential crisis...)
And this lifelong road is just one-way
You can take a turn down Escapist Lane
I always bend it 'til I break it
Just gotta fake it 'til I make it
Fake it 'til I make it...
Has anybody ever told you life just isn't fair?
