"Reality Filter" lyrics

"Reality Filter"

I'm selling a lie
Appearances are everything
In my mind I'm a far cry behind
But I'll keep portraying this false identity

Things aren't always as they seem
When they are seen through the filter
This picture perfect life
Free of all imperfections

Everyone is selling themselves
Everyone is selling themselves short

I judge myself by others success
I rate my life second to yours
I judge myself by others success
I rate my life second to yours

Nothing seems to be good enough
Nothing fills the hole

Always concerned on what I am lacking
Forever failing to live in this moment

Existence spent
Wallowing as life passes me by

I struggle to keep my feet flat on the ground
My head space is defying the earth's gravity
Reality filter

A lifetime spent failing to live in this moment
In this moment
A lifetime spent failing to live
