I woke up on this side
I thought it was a dream
At first we learned to walk
Then learned to scream
You can't understand
When you're fed from a TV screen
You can't see the things that I can see (that I can see)

But I forget that you thank God and pray
Some things just never stay
And we all just slip away

This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
When I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in only to poison you
Am I
The only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh

I look for some hope, in every face there's a vacant stare
The shadows come, but no one seems to care
The darkness floods every light that could promise change
The sheep are sound asleep when the blood is stained
But blood is pain

Somewhere I know that I'm not all alone
But this bated breath I hold
My lungs want to explode

This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
When I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in only to poison you
Am I
The only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh
This can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh

Just as soon as we see (as soon as we see)
Every flaw and every need, we'll understand
(The flaw and every need)
Before the first time (time)
A child to a man (a child to a man)
Says only pure words that he can
And he's too late, the man, he knows it, he says
With all emotions set aside
"In a whisper, say goodbye"

This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
When I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in now just to poison you
Am I
The only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh
This can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh

This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world now
No, oh, uh, no, oh Writer/s: Nick Wheeler, Tyson Ritter
