  • I woke up on this side
    I thought it was a dream
    At first we learned to walk
    Then learned to scream

    You can't understand
    When you're fed from a TV screen
    You can't see the things that I can see
    But I forget that you thank god and pray
    Some things just never stay
    And we all just slip away

    This cant be the real world now
    I don't believe it
    When I can't see the truth
    Welcome to the real world now
    When all our carried in now just to poison you
    Am I
    The only one who thinks it's tragic?
    This cant be the real world now
    No oh uh no oh

    I look for some hope in every face that has a vacant stare
    The shadows come but no one seems to care
    The darkness floods every light that promised change
    She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain the blood is pain
    Somewhere I know that I'm not all alone
    This bated breath I hold
    My lungs want to explode

    This cant be the real world now
    I don't believe it
    When I can't see the truth
    Welcome to the real world now
    When all our carried in now just to poison you
    Am I
    The only one who thinks it's tragic?
    This cant be the real world now
    No oh uh no oh

    Just as soon as we see every floor in every mean will understand
    Before the first time
    Child to a mans only real words that he can
    Its too late to smell the roses
    When all emotions set aside
    In a whisper say goodbye

    This cant be the real world now
    I don't believe it
    When I can't see the truth
    Welcome to the real world now
    When all our carried in now just to poison you
    Am I
    The only one who thinks it's tragic?
    This cant be the real world now
    No oh uh no oh

    This cant be the real world
    This cant be the real world
    This cant be the real world now
    No oh uh no oh Writer/s: NICK WHEELER, TYSON RITTER
