[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
