We were told what our lives were supposed to mean That we knew everything we could possibly be But a simple dose of reality Turned everything on its head From an infinite life to a single thread The control of the past has fallen instead What do you do when you know there's an end You gotta make your own reality! (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh) We started out knowing nothing but the show (Just a fragment of a memory) ‘Cause in our minds where else was there to go (Who were we supposed to be?) We didn't know the world existed Or who we were outside the competition It took so long to make things right (Now we've seen the light) Now we're faced with a new reality (Everything is all so new) Our souls are free to be who they wanna be (Now we finally know what's true) And everything that came before Doesn't have to be our norm (But what do you do when you know life isn't forever?) Doomed by the thoughts inside of our heads Surrounded by our new and old friends We were held together by connected threads Of staged reality Let the past be the past let the future be Whatever will let us find our meaning Reality is ours for the taking So now is the time to make it Open your eyes Take in the life you could lead When you realize There's more than this insanity And maybe we're not real but what's real anyway? It all comes down to you, your reality is what you make! Can a reality (show) Be our reality? (No!) This glimpse of mortality (Opens our minds to a brighter future) Whatever comes next, we don't (know!) But now we get to choose where to (go!) Our reality is here (Still our story to be told!) And sure, things will be different But that doesn't mean it's not worth it Our past may have been tied to the game But the future is ours to claim (Own reality) (Make your own reality)
