Saosin - Is This Real Lyrics
Time's runnin' out and I have been betrayedGotta cast my stone into the lake (it didn't work, I didn't feel it sink in)That's all it takes my son then you are safeWhen the end comes, everything's okay (we take it back, you take it away)Take my skin, we're diving inIt doesn't make a difference if I sink or swimTheres a line drawn thin or so they tell meI'll never know the difference if we..sink or swim!Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)The smiles that we fake (is it real)I know it hurts but is it realThe choices that we makeThe smiles that we fake for my own sakeI know it hurts but is it...I can't help feelin' like I've been betrayedShoulda cast that stone into the lake (stone into the lake)Chased in the wrong direction, led astrayAnd I know you don't believe a single word you say (I can't believe that you can)Take my skin, we're diving in (we're diving in)It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swimTheres a line drawn thin or so they tell meI'll never know the difference if we..sink or swim!Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)The smiles that we fake (is it real)I know it hurts but is it realThe choices that we make (is it real)The smiles that we fake for my own sakeI know it hurts but is this..real...is this realI don't want to buy into the lieStare up at the sky but is it real?Show me somethin' real.I don't want to buy into your liesStare up at the sky and say "I surrender myself for this, I'll take the blame (I'll take the blame)I surrender myself for this, I'll take the blame (oh oh..)For peace or war, for rich or poorFor loss, for gain, for everything that I lovedI see, I feel, I've become one with words not real to meSo I'll stare in silenceForward, backwardsJust to realize we all fall..downIs it real, the choices that we make (is it real)The smiles that we fake (is it real)Just tell me is this real (is it real)The choices that we make (is it real)The smiles that we fake for my own sakeI know it hurts but is this..real...is this realIs it realI need to know, is this real
