Saosin - Is This Real lyrics

rate me

Time's runnin' out and I have been betrayed<br />

Gotta cast my stone into the lake (it didn't work, I didn't feel it sink in)<br />

That's all it takes my son then you are safe<br />

When the end comes, everything's okay (we take it back, you take it away)<br />

<br />

Take my skin, we're diving in<br />

It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim<br />

There's a line drawn thin or so they tell me<br />

I'll never know the difference if we... sink or swim! <br />

<br />

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)<br />

The smiles that we fake (is it real)<br />

I know it hurts but is it real<br />

The choices that we make<br />

The smiles that we fake for my own sake<br />

I know it hurts but is it... <br />

<br />

I can't help feelin' like I've been betrayed<br />

Shoulda cast that stone into the lake (stone into the lake)<br />

Chased in the wrong direction, led astray<br />

And I know you don't believe a single word you say (I can't believe that you can)<br />

<br />

Take my skin, we're diving in (we're diving in)<br />

It doesn't make a difference if I sink or swim<br />

There's a line drawn thin or so they tell me<br />

I'll never know the difference if we... sink or swim! <br />

<br />

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)<br />

The smiles that we fake (is it real)<br />

I know it hurts but is it real<br />

The choices that we make (is it real)<br />

The smiles that we fake for my own sake<br />

I know it hurts but is this... real... is this real<br />

<br />

I don't want to buy into the lie<br />

Stare up at the sky but is it real?<br />

Show me somethin' real.<br />

I don't want to buy into your lies<br />

Stare up at the sky and say "I surrender myself for this, <br />

I'll take the blame (I'll take the blame)<br />

I surrender myself for this, I'll take the blame (oh oh...)<br />

<br />

For peace or war, for rich or poor<br />

For loss, for gain, for everything that I loved<br />

I see, I feel, I've become one with words not real to me<br />

So I'll stare in silence<br />

Forward, backwards<br />

Just to realize we all fall... down<br />

<br />

Is it real, the choices that we make (is it real)<br />

The smiles that we fake (is it real)<br />

Just tell me is this real (is it real)<br />

The choices that we make (is it real)<br />

The smiles that we fake for my own sake<br />

I know it hurts but is this... real... is this real<br />

Is it real<br />

I need to know, is this real</
