The Charade
Sit and look in the mirror
And you're wondering why
Can't change your reflection
Can't change your design
Figure out if it's all just some cosmic joke
When's the final rehearsal
Gotta put on the show
I get it for the girls who flip their hair
And people stare so unaware
But for the rest of us
It don't make sense
It's just because
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
Starting work rising early and finishing late
Can't hate on the system
You hate on the game
Gotta run a bit faster, bit longer, bit harder
It's all just to make you bit stronger
Making the millions, a nickel a dime
Buying the buildings, money is time
While we can't put food on the table
Sitting here praying for an angel
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
Something real
Don't cry, stay tough
Are you strong enough?
Be nice, be loved
When does the mask come off
Feel fine, feel numb
When do you wake up
And realise it's just a fantasy
It's all a dream
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Don't buy into the charade of something real
And you're wondering why
Can't change your reflection
Can't change your design
Figure out if it's all just some cosmic joke
When's the final rehearsal
Gotta put on the show
I get it for the girls who flip their hair
And people stare so unaware
But for the rest of us
It don't make sense
It's just because
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
Starting work rising early and finishing late
Can't hate on the system
You hate on the game
Gotta run a bit faster, bit longer, bit harder
It's all just to make you bit stronger
Making the millions, a nickel a dime
Buying the buildings, money is time
While we can't put food on the table
Sitting here praying for an angel
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
Something real
Don't cry, stay tough
Are you strong enough?
Be nice, be loved
When does the mask come off

When do you wake up
And realise it's just a fantasy
It's all a dream

Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Buys into the charade of something real
I don't wanna be another
Cog that spins the wheel
It's so surreal how everything you feel
Is treated like it's no big deal
I'm gonna refuse to be defined by social cues
I'm so confused why everyone I see
Don't buy into the charade of something real
