Real to Me
Full of standards I can't reach
How can I reach them from the back seat?
Reality's blurred, what's fake and real to me?
I'll never know when my mind's stuck in monotony
I'm slipping through a colored show of blue skies
I'm falling through the lines upon a screen
They say it's fake, but this is my chance at a life
Their fiction is my new reality
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
What's this world but endless gray?
I just want to sink inside my brain
They all seem worried about my ways
My life's never been focused
That hasn't changed
It's vibrant colors long since faded
It's crisp clear lines torn into shreds
The real world is broken, and full of dread
I'll stay within the one inside my head
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
Is it adventure that awaits me?
Love, or slice of life?
I don't care, my old world can't compare, cause-
This is the one place that's right!
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
Oh, this is my home now, so proud!
This world, this is real to me!
How can I reach them from the back seat?
Reality's blurred, what's fake and real to me?
I'll never know when my mind's stuck in monotony
I'm slipping through a colored show of blue skies
I'm falling through the lines upon a screen
They say it's fake, but this is my chance at a life
Their fiction is my new reality
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
What's this world but endless gray?
I just want to sink inside my brain
They all seem worried about my ways
My life's never been focused
That hasn't changed
It's vibrant colors long since faded
It's crisp clear lines torn into shreds
The real world is broken, and full of dread
I'll stay within the one inside my head
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
Is it adventure that awaits me?
Love, or slice of life?
I don't care, my old world can't compare, cause-
This is the one place that's right!
Oh, this is familiar
These faces, these places, this pain
But it's better than what I had before
This "cartoon"s what's keeping me sane
Because it's real to me
Oh, cause it's real to me!
Oh, this is my home now, so proud!
This world, this is real to me!
