[Intro] It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream [Verse 1] Funhouse mirrors Ain't how it looks, just how it appears Shot in the dark, drop in the pier Falling apart every time you're near Every time you're near Don't get close See right through, but it ain't quite clear Cut through the sheer Up and down on the rollercoaster Ain't no fun without the fear Everyone's here, but I'm alone Left my home, went to the doctor Said I had imposter syndrome "Click two of these, call in the morn'" Trapped in the screen, Videodrome Stared at myself in the stream Jumped in the water, killed my phone Oh, no [Chorus] It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream [Verse 2] Stayed up late Scrolled by someone I used to date Hanging with someone that I hate Felt like bait, clicked anyway Switching the frame, hundred tabs Breaking news, crash like waves Crashed my page, too much ads Forgot to save, attachment made Read something the other day Can't remember what it say Heard a song the other day Know the numbers, not the name Treating fame just like a game Higher scores, higher pay Higher up on the poster Bigger size of your name [Chorus] It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream, yeah It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream [Bridge] We forget the source then we believe the echo Said something you regret, it gets so hard to let go Harder to reflect, all caught up in the web It's so hard to connect [Verse 3] I want a better future I want a better solution Better institutions Stronger constitution Less confusion More control over my contribution More restitution Less retribution No restrictions No more executions No more wars No more reckless movements No more shootings More people gaining Less people losing it More truth Less lying up in the booth More freedom for the youth I know exactly what I want How about you? [Chorus] It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream, ha It is what it is It ain't what it seems Life is but a dream Life is but a dream [Outro] We forget the source then we believe the echo Said something you regret, it gets so hard to let go Harder to reflect, all caught up in the web It's so hard to connect
