[Verse 1]

Outside, you'd make sure that you're the helpin' hand

In response and validation for every of their demand

To feel wanted until you struck out their commands

Once, realizin' you weren't for yourself

Outside, you'd use the memories to cover cuts of your soul

To be around people wit' warm, to not live the cold

But who are you when you're all alone?

Once, realizin' you weren't for your own

They'd reach out to you, for the strength of words

To understand the blue, as they're not unheard

Meanin' in your care, it'd show for always bein' there

To remind 'em here, that they're not 'lone facing their fears

[Chorus]

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

[Verse 2]

Inside, you'd binge oppression within yourself

Barely living, ponderin' on this life of a ticket

Just exactly, what is the reason?

Hopin' to be dreaming, but this is reality you're experiencing (Mhm)

Inside, you'd binge the depression within' yourself

Trauma 'scheming, affectin' you and splitting

The emotions affectin' the people, and it's killin'

Hopin' somebody to be there, on the same level as you meant it

You'd give the signs that'd indicate that you're hurt

But, where you'd come from, it is actions over words

Now, you feel guilt when they've done everythin' for you

So you'd runaway, as you don't want 'em in the ditch wit' you

[Chorus]

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

[Verse 3]

Oh, surely with hardship comes ease

Is this the 'Sandman of sleep, eternity in "dreams"?

In certainty, the next life is far better, bein' pleased

So, when will you wake up to that reality? (Tell yourself)

Thought, I'd find happiness within' money

But with such accessibility, it only does; temporarily

Maybe, the key's 'built through my mentality

I've been takin' me 'only, but the love's lonely

Then, I'd fail to memrise for myself, where I'd prevaricate

For times, I'm 'taciturn towards the pain

So here lies, if I don't make it through and 'reciprocate

Because I've realized, our lives are not the same

[Chorus]

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer (Uh)

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer

Don't everything look beautiful in the distance?

But it gets ugly, if one step closer
