Checkmate & Trash Bin Stench & Lake Alden - Only in Fiction/That's a Joke Lyrics

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 god
Hateful Intended to show we 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 belong
To 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 the last time
For me to think about it
Parade in the moment
Don't struggle with it

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 love to see them right

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