State of Substance

There's a plague upon this world
Though it may pain you to see
That the world that you have been shown
Is not reality
The one that you call freedom
Your only escape
Is just another hiding place
Until life kicks you in the teeth

You will never understand
You will never fucking see

And like a slave to substance
I'm a slave to the loneliness
Do you remember me before all this?
No
Because I didn't exist

That the world that you live in
Is not the same for you and me
Get out while you can
You're not living the dream

It's all about perspective
And what you choose to see
It's all about reality
And fighting for those dreams

We're holding silence
Don't walk away
Bring another bullet
So you can put it through my brain
I'm walking through a world
That means nothing to me
Because every thing I see
Is screaming blind hypocrisy

I'm waking to every reason not to be here
And I'm falling for every reason to fail
The day's blend into the blackness of night
In this state of substance what reason is there to fight

You're just a slave to substance
And it's what fills me with loneliness
You don't remember me and you never will
Because I, am finished with this
I've woken from this dream
Into a world I dare not see
And as the days blend to the night
A state of substance is your only place to hide
