John Reuben - Freedom To Feel Lyrics
Step awayKeep your distanceI can't be what you want me to beBut right now there are things inside I don't want you to seeSo take your personal spotlightShine it on someone else for a whileI can't force a happy face or makeshift you a smileI can't deny what I see, what I feel or what's in front of meSo take your world of precious moments of make-believeThey never made me believe in anythingBut left me with nothing to hold on toYour quick fix and magic tricks can only disguise what I was going throughAnd now I'm thinkin' it was when it wasn'tAnd now I'm tryin' to rationalize what just doesn'tCome together and somehow doesn't make senseBut God, how can I convince them when I'm not even convinced?Everyone is thinkin' it, but nobody's sayin' itEveryone's sayin' it, but nobody's feeling itEveryone's feeling it, but nobody's seein' itSo how am I supposed to know what's real?False sense of happinessMy security wrapped up in thisThese control freaks seek out who they can brainwash and make activistsThey'd rather have me lie than bring my failure to the lightKeep your secrets to yourselfIt's not about you but them lookin' rightNo time to be uglyDon't trouble them with your doubt and fearsShout for joy little boys and girlsYou brokenness ain't welcome hereWell excuse me while I bleed through and my life becomes see-throughDon't ask for transparency but reject what you seein' tooEveryone is thinkin' it, but nobody's sayin' itEveryone is sayin' it, but nobody's feelin' itEveryone is feelin' it, but nobody is seein' itSo tell me, how am I supposed to know what's real?Everyone is thinkin' itEveryone is feelin' itBut nobody is seeing itAnd howAm I supposed to feel?How am I supposed to know what's real?So pleaseCan somebody tell me how am I supposed to know what's realWhen I was told and controlled how to feel?You tell me now, how am I supposed to know what's realWhen I was told and controlled how to feel?Jesus, please tell meHow are they gonna know you're realWhen we're told and controlled how to feelJesus, tell me pleaseHow they gonna know you're realWhen they're controlled and told how to feel?You tell meHow am I supposed to know what's realWhen I was told and controlled how to feel?You tell me please, GodHow are they gonna know that you're realWhen they're told and controlled how to feel?You tell me pleaseHow am I supposed to know what's real?How are they supposed to know what's real?How are they supposed to know what's real?How are you and I supposed to know?Freedom to feelHow am I supposed to feel?How am I supposed to know what's real?
