Altered Reality
Verse 1:
I used to see the world in vivid shades,
But now it's all a blur, like a fading dream parade.
The colors melt away, (turning )into gray,
I took the pill, and now I'm lost in what's real and what's fake.
Pre-Chorus:
Voices echo in the dark,
Whispers pulling me apart.
I reach out, but I can't find
The line between my heart and mind.
Chorus:
Altered reality, nothing's as it seems,
I'm walking through a world that's made of broken dreams.
What was once familiar, now it feels so strange,
Caught inside the vision that this medicine arranged.
Altered reality, I'm slipping through the seams,
Waking up inside someone else's (dreams.)
Verse 2:
Faces that I knew, they wear a different mask,
The lines are all distorted, can't remember what to ask.
The ground beneath my feet feels like it's made of glass,
I'm standing on the edge, don't know if I'll fall or pass.
Pre-Chorus:
Shadows dance where light should be,
Nothing here is what I see.
The world I knew is far behind,
Lost inside my( altered mind.)
Chorus:
Altered reality, nothing's as it seems,
I'm walking through a world that's made of broken dreams.
What was once familiar, now it feels so strange,
Caught inside the vision that this medicine arranged.
Altered reality, I'm slipping through the seams,
Waking up inside someone else's dreams.
Bridge:
Is this the price I have to pay?
To feel okay but lose my way?
I'm searching for the truth,( but all I find,)
Are echoes of a past life, (fading in my mind.)
Chorus:
Altered reality, nothing's as it seems,
I'm walking through a world that's made of broken dreams.
What was once familiar, now it feels so strange,
Caught inside the vision that this medicine arranged.
Altered reality, I'm slipping through the seams,
Waking up inside someone else's dreams.
Outro:
I want to break free from this twisted view,
But the more I try, the deeper I fall through.
Altered reality,( will I find my way?)
Or am I lost forever in (this shadowed gray?)
