how each of us believes
I’ve never really known

day after day play out our lives
however confused
pretending to know to the end
but this isn't truth this isn't right
this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
this is a lie
this isn't truth this isn't right
this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
this is a lie
