The One Real Thing

My mother once she told me, the one real thing in life
Is that nothing can come out of nothing
Fighting that sorrow, fight it every day, fight it every way
My mother once she told me, the only rule in life
Is no matter what happens, just turn on the light
But mom, I'm not like you, but I hope I will
Be someday

And I prevail, invisible walls seem to appear
From nowhere and I'm trying to encase my mind
I believe

My father once he told me, the one real thing in life
Is that someday, we'll all disappear
I keep in mind what all the people say, as I build my way
And everyone that holds me back, will see I'm all in
And no where to hide and no way back, the only thing I know is

I prevail, invisible walls seem to appear
From nowhere and I'm trying to encase my mind
I believe

So I break the convention, a dissolution of the fourth wall
The silent begin to speak, the prophets changed their minds
The rigid begin to move, all I know is sometimes
We have to make our own rules

And I prevail, invisible walls seem to appear
I'm trying and I'm trying to escape my mind
Finally

And I prevail, sorrow is taking over
My soul and I'm trying to encase my mind
I believe
And I prevail, invisible walls seem to appear
I'm trying and I know, both of you were right
I believe
