Replacing Authenticity With Ersatz

Everything is meaningless
What's the point of struggling to survive?
Claw and cry
Scratch and plead
So much for pride I'm begging on my knees
Tell me that there is something beyond this
Because everything I see is bogus
A fraud and a front to keep the truth from exposing
The fact that underneath the skin of the world
Everyone is dead and falling into pools of blood
Is there anything better then pleasure without ruin?
Can we have that, does that even matter?
Should we just be sitting around in circles all day meditating?
Will a mind ever escape its skull,
Only to find that the world ain't mine?
And what we thought was right in the back parts of time,
We are all alone in no one is coming
Such a waist to sit still and contemplate
About the realness of reality
Praying that something exists outside of all this filthiness
How do we replace what is so black
With something that matters like life washed in rain?
Fuller and with meaning not just the same old same old
So who do I cry to when we bring it back around?
Fitting into a universe so big yet without a parking spot
Going insane just thinking about how deep my inner reality could be
That beyond the skies that burn red like fire
There is a place of green hills covered in trees that bring immortality
Bright and shinning just without the heat of hell that strikes out underneath me
Wake up from my dreams with a peace
Not the kind that comforts in distress
The kind that holds six rounds and sends wayward children to their father
If only you could see the world that lives behind my eyes
Let's make it authentic and spit out the real
A place where we actually walk along the path of destiny
And come to the facts like a fork in the road
Truth hurts and I'll tell you why
We're all living a lie
So when the blindfold is removed
The light of real life revival begins to burn our eyes
