The Lies Of The Avatars

Good morning, world
Have you yet to mix your controlled substance?
Take a swig and log in to your pretense
So much better than what you see outside
You're a hero here, but for how long?
You gain levels and don't truly feel strong
Nobody told you you're doing this all wrong
But you succumb to the lie

It's so comfortable to say things you don't mean
To be sucked into a screen
To be someone you are not
It's so wonderful to disassociate
I think it's time to reevaluate
'Cause I won't watch you sit and rot

Good evening, world
Have you yet to take a look out of your window?
Take a glimpse and see the sunset as the night goes
But you're feeling so much safer here inside
You can make a friend, but for how long?
Fall in love with strangers and move on
But take away the vice and the love is gone
Yet you succumb to the lie

It's so comfortable to say things you don't mean
To be sucked into a screen
To be someone you are not
It's so wonderful to disassociate
I think it's time to reevaluate
'Cause I won't watch you sit and rot

Can't you see you're stifling your mind?
Don't you know you haven't really done a thing?
Watch your money dissipate with your life
Just for the temporary glory that it brings

You're trapped inside a web of lies
They've got you right where they want you
And when you start to look back on your life
All this time wasted will haunt you

Good morning, world
Nice to see you outside here in the fresh spring air
Doesn't it feel great to see the rising sun?
I know it was so much safer inside
But now you know that your old life was wrong
You're here among us right where you belong
Let's adventure together by the dawn
Broken free of the lie

It's so amazing to be everything you are
To see this galaxy of stars
Using your own eyes
It's so powerful to put our lives into words
To accept our universe
And to know that we're alive

So let's live
