“Reality Changed Us”

“Reality Changed Us” Verse 1 We grew up chasing lights in a digital sky Everybody screaming loud, but dead inside Now people walk in circles through these empty streets With tired eyes and broken hearts they hide beneath We learned how to survive but forgot how to feel Built walls around our souls and called it something real And truth hurts the most when the mirror don’t lie The world became colder while we just tried to survive Pre-Chorus Maybe life had to break us down somehow Just to show who we really are right now Chorus Reality changed us piece by piece Made us colder, but somehow more complete We lost our faith, we lost our time But learned to stand again when everything died And even if the world left scars on our skin There’s something beautiful in the pain within ’Cause suffering made us weaker and stronger at once Maybe that’s what becoming human does Verse 2 People chase money like their soul’s for sale Smiling through the pressure while they slowly fail Kids grow older faster than they should these days Love feels temporary, like it fades away But underneath the chaos there’s still a spark Someone helping someone else inside the dark And maybe all the damage taught us how to see That broken people still become who they’re meant to be Bridge Maybe we’re not worse Just more aware We’ve seen too much darkness To pretend it isn’t there Final Chorus Reality changed us piece by piece Made us colder, but somehow more complete We lost ourselves somewhere along the road But found something honest inside the holes And even if the world changed who we are There’s strength in surviving every scar ’Cause pain made us weaker and stronger at once Maybe that’s just what reality does…
