Official Lyrics
Realize
[Verse 1 – Real Lies] Seen ‘em all on the TV show, Sayin’ things they want us to know. Painting pictures of the perfect scene, But nothing’s as it ever seems. [Pre-Chorus 1] We play along, and we don’t ask why, Sing the song with our heads held high. [Chorus 1] Real lies, yeah they sound so sweet, Wrapped up nice, like a melody. Real eyes, don’t see it, until it’s too late, By the time you do, you’ve taken the bait. [Verse 2 – Real Eyes] Met a man with everything just right, Said he still doesn’t sleep at night. Chased the dream, it can slip with ease, He found the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. [Pre-Chorus 2] For the thrill of the chase, we play the game, You’ll find once you win, it’s still the same place. [Chorus 2] Real lies, they talk so smooth, Like a record playin’ a worn-out tune. Real eyes, they blink and it’s too late, By the time you see, you took the bait. [Verse 3 – Realize] Try to fit in, follow the way. But strip it back, the mirror stays, And what’s left is just your face. [Pre-Chorus 3] It ain’t too late, just shift your view, Find the truth that speaks to you. [Chorus 3 – Bigger, Stronger] Real lies, they come so clean, Like a habit, part of the machine. Real eyes, they wake up late, But once you see, there’s no escape. [Bridge – Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Real lies, yeah they sound so sweet, Wrapped up nice, like a melody. Real eyes, don’t see it, until it’s too late, By the time you do, you’ve taken the bait. [Outro] "Ohhh, see what you see…" "Mmm, take a look now…"
