[Verse]

Take a piece of this world break it

Find our place in the tragic

Contemplate all the questions we face

Never get the answers

Destroy all that we love here

Clinging to the morals of ancient tales

Fascination with tragedy

Will find ourselves the next story

[Chorus]

The reality before us

Doesn't seem so real

Peel back the layers

To see its mankind

The reality before us

Doesn't have to be

Push past the layers

And see it's you and me

[Verse]

Vicarious we get our thrills

Imagine we are anywhere

Fear the place that we love most

But we don't want to be too close

We wish to always shield our eyes

And hum sweet songs to be disguised

Follow all the trends of men before

Follow all their feet to empty shores

[Chorus]

The reality before us

Doesn't seem so real

Peel back the layers

To see its mankind

The reality before us

Doesn't have to be

Push past the layers

And see it's you and me

It's you and me (2x)

[Bridge]

It's your fault I'm to blame

Point your finger

I'll do the same

Our future darkens

While we play this game

[Verse]

Spinning out of control

We're hidden from the light

Our instinct tells us to survive

But to survive we must go against

Our instinct

Our nature is taking over

Fighting to be the last one here

Seems to be the goal

Only the strong survive

So who will all survive

[Chorus]

The reality before us

Doesn't seem so real

Peel back the layers

To see its mankind

The reality before us

Doesn't have to be

Push past the layers

And see it's you and me
