I've been blind for weeks now
Squinting my eyes and furrowing my brows
I can only see what I think is right in front of me
In the distance, is just
Distorted reality
I've been pleading the fifth
Creating a movie script
For something there never was or supposed to be
My head is filled with motion picture reels
Leaving me a world of things that I really don't have to feel
So keep the real keep the real
Cause there's nothing that I wanna feel
Yea keep the real keep the real
Cause there's nothing that I wanna feel
