[Intro]
Yeah
Take a hard look, you need to take a step back, step back, yeah

[Verse]
Turn the stations, seeing what’s been televised
Forcing fear to terrorize, keep control by telling lies
You’d be surprised sometimes; it looks good but it’s hell inside
Empty eyes focus on the pixels, how we’re getting by
Ain’t no balancing, you never see the other side
Never see it, never fly, never looking at the sky
Campaign tries to help you keep your peace of mind
Abandon mental services then wonder why they went and died
Seems the rise caught no attention of the other guys
Let’s all count the suicides and teardrops in those mothers' eyes
They divide us then they conquer cause we all comply
See these words as negative, I’m just tryna multiply
My grandfather, he was petrified to step outside
Only company he had, an O2 tank right by his side
I blame restrictions for it, took away his joy and pride
If he wasn’t fearing for his life then he’d be still alive

[Verse 2]
Rest in peace to him and all those that have fallen
I go to sleep at night and hope for difference in the morning
Not often, but sometimes my anxiety is clawing
I’m breathing so damn heavily, I feel my lungs, they’re roaring,
Can I have happiness? Just looking for a portion
No way I can get that from amassing fuckin’ fortunes
Splash that on materials, I question why they bought them
Whatever gets you through your day to me, it’s not important
I get these thoughts a lot, I don’t know where to pour them
I keep them buried deep inside my mind like it’s a forum
I kept those memories on lock but I must’ve forgot them
All the ones I still have left, I sit and watch them out of boredom
This is exhausting, we’re seeing things they’ll never see
Better be a day when I can hug my friends and enemies
Cause I’m so over any beef I’ve had, I set it free
Squash it, might be worth more to your feelings than it’s worth to me

[Hook]
Take a hard look, you need to take a step back
Assess the impact, getting back on this track
In this together, are you mad? I’m barely intact
Tried to see the bigger picture but the lens cracked
Take a hard look, you need to take a step back
Assess the impact, getting back on this track
In this together, are you mad? I’m barely intact
Tried to see the bigger picture but the lens cracked

[Outro]
What ya see is what you believe and
What you see yeah, it’s lies to me man
What ya see yeah, what you believe yeah
What you see man, it’s all lies to me yeah
What you see is what you believe and
Don’t believe everything on TV yeah
What you see is what you believe yeah
What you see man, it’s all lies to me yeah
