Reality. Oh the bitter taste of the battered path
So cold on the lips of my soul, I never thought such pain could feel so real
And I've tried to see the other side of things, the other side where the sun shines bright
But the days grew colder, and so did my heart
For the past three years I've been fighting to keep my faith
But it's hard (so hard) when all I feel is pain
A plague of violence, a plague of arrogance
A plague of hatred and intolerance
I've kept these demons locked inside for so damn long
This is my disease.
Reality is what got me here in the first place
Mortality is the suspect in my eyes
Reality, like a kick to the head
Morality, I guess I'm doing my best
A word that has strong will but lacks a spine
I confess, now save me.
