Only in Fiction/That's a Joke

How can we live?
With the facts presented like this
Obvious lies
Spread the word on how predictable we are
We're manipulated into thinking we're all a
A god
Hateful, intended to show we all all hide
From ourselves
We can never learn
To control our pride
But in the end it will come

Thinking in the moment, I guess I've never considered this before
An image of a place we sit and discover each other
But that's a joke
That sounds nice, but only in fiction
That sounds nice, but only in fiction
We love to see you when you're down

Where do we draw the line?
To fear what's to come
To fight it head on and to settle the score
What to do with all these problems

Nothing is as it seems
All in me
The way it's supposed to be
Inward we go
Straight to resolutions
The way to simply be

Too much time has passed since I drift away
Pondering outcomes

I played myself
The second time should be the last time for me to think about
Parade in the moment
Don't struggle with it

Too much time has passed since I drift away
Pondering outcomes
Too much time has passed since I drift away
Pondering outcomes

As I go on thoughts will trample
Crumbling before me
Would love to see them gone
Just work with myself and I'll feel inside
The solutions were there the whole time
Would live to see them ride

Why do you feel like we love to see you when you're down?
