I keep slogging through this Drab existence Friends don’t see it my way Unfulfillment finds me Unresisting Days on replay What can I do? Run from my life From my problems and troubles When they drag me down I’ll get Lost in Fiction Follow the crowd, They don’t care about reality. Ev’ry one around’s getting Lost in Fiction Vicious cycles are like Second nature No-one meets me half-way Realization is a Constant stranger Shattering my Aspirations Those around me suffer Constant windfalls Fortune finds them by chance Coasting tows them to a Place where luck calls Now this seems my Only option Run from my life From my problems and troubles When they drag me down I’ll get Lost in Fiction Follow the crowd, They don’t care about reality. Ev’ry one around’s getting Lost in Fiction It’s where I want to be A world of fantasy. I chase the whims of dreams In stories, songs, and screens. Who cares if I’m not there? Lies take me anywhere. Meals of hyperbole And breathing prose, chapter and verse, image’ry rules supreme. Bury my head In the worlds I’ve created When they drag me down I’ll get lost in fiction Run with the herd They don’t ca-re for uncertainty Ev’ry one around’s sharing My addiction Run from my life From my problems and troubles When they drag me down I get Lost in Fiction Follow the crowd, They don’t care about reality Ev’ry one around’s getting Lost in Fiction Ev’ry one around Lost in fiction When they drag me down Lost in fiction Ev’ry one around Getting lost in fiction When they drag me down Will be lost in fiction

You’re the voice of reason that I’ve given up No compromise, no solution Need a jailbreak; I am a prisoner And my attention has long been spent I’ve got no intention Of respecting the lies Just keep your delusions And I’ll push you aside You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time) You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (Why did it take so long for you to grasp?) You’re the daily grind that’s sapping all my strength No energy, just pollution Running out of steam, I am a passenger And I need something to set me straight. I’ve got no intention Of respecting the lies Just keep your delusions And I’ll push you aside You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time) You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (Why did it take so long for you to grasp?) It’s supposed to be a give-and-take But I’ll always land on my feet Even when your intentions are fake And you show you can’t take the heat You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time) You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (Why did it take so long for you to grasp?) You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling (I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time) You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling Why did it take so long for you to Tweak that unease!

Once upon a time I thought I’d make it big Live among the stars instead of in the holes I dig I once hoped my life would have significance With no strings attached and facing not one consequence Being ordinary’s just too small for me “Big and better” sounds good and that’s where I wanna be Some may say I’m simply not adventurous Time will tell but I think they could be more generous I’ll work hard, make myself a name & live my life live Take that leap, step into the spotlight, who wouldn’t thrive? When fame calls, I won’t leave it hanging; my time to shine Where I go, they’ll be sure to follow, Live my life live Come and join the party, we got all you need No vice is a crisis, we'll get you up to speed But now you’ve arrived I feel I’ve gotta say For all this indulgence there’s a price to pay You see this contract? Did you read it well? We own you now And you can go to hell! Why did I ever bare my soul and live my life live? Ev’ry day people shake me down, won’t let me take five Took me in, played me for a fool, how can I survive? Built to fall ever since I chose to live my life live You thought you could take it easy but you know, you owe us something, there are no free passes You have sold your soul and spent your dignity. We are not satisfied with just one slice You’ve got nothing left to live for; we don’t care. We’ll earn more money from your likeness if you die You thought you could take it easy but you know, you owe us something, there are no free passes You have sold your soul and spent your dignity. We are not satisfied with just one slice You’ve got nothing left to live for; we don’t care. We’ll earn more money from your likeness if you die

Wake up, Tune in, Drop Out Just do as you’re told, And fall in line Shape up, Drift in, Ship out Will you be so bold, And try to shine? But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception (The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul) Speak up, Cash in, Zone out Just do as they say, But stand your ground Stand up, Jump in, Reach out Just join in the fray, Until you’re found They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel The unawake, state of my mind Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed The unawake, state of my brain Keep up, Get in, Drive out You can do anything, Don’t fall behind Look up, Sink in, Fallout! Of love with drinking, Too many times They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel The unawake, state of my mind (But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception) Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed The unawake, state of my brain (The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul) There’s something I gotta say to you This revolution of mind, we gotta see it through There's something I gotta get to you To break the lies that bind, and start the world anew They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel The unawake, state of my mind Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed The unawake, state of my brain They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel The unawake, state of my mind Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed The unawake, state of my heart They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel The unawake, state of my lonely heart
