"Reality & Fiction" lyrics

Burning Down Alaska Lyrics

"Reality & Fiction"

My life's
A Contradiction
Split into reality and fiction
My life's a product
Of indecision
Of fear that retains me like prison

The imperfection in me
I've built my castle
I've built my walls
To protect me from all the world holds

All i wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that i take
Have made me to who I am

It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
There's so much more in me

My heart
Had good intentions
If they were the cause of my actions
If there was something
I could have done
To hold me away from the coward I've become

The imperfection in me
I built my castle
I built my walls
To protect me from all the world holds

All i wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that i take
Have made me to who I am

There's so much more in me
So much more to set free
It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be

All i wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that I take
Have made me to who I am

It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
There's so much more in me
