"The Real You" lyrics

This is not the real you
You call yourself strong
Hey, shame on you
You stare at human cruelty
Like you're not part of it
This is not the real you (Ashamed, broken)
Come on—get real

Hey, tell me—
Do you truly feel the grief
Or only its echo?
You call yourself innocent—
Shame on you
This is not the real you (Wandering, lost)
Come on—get real

How long will you let their hands shape you
Soft as clay, silent as blame?
How long will you pull others into the fire
Then claim innocence?
Will you stay asleep
A body without a voice
A crown without a head?
Heyyy
This isn't right—
You know it isn't
How long will you poison with whispers
Bend truth, bruise, threaten?
How long will you swallow fear
Call it patience
Call it peace?
Face it

Shame on you
Would you praise them sweetly
Just to cut them later?
Tell me—
Would you smile today
And curse them tomorrow?
This is not the real you (Blind envy dressed as devotion)
Come on—get real

This is not the real you
Do you look down on others
To feel taller?
Shame on you
Are you truly less capable—
Or just afraid to stand?
This is not the real you (Blind with ambition, full of rage)
Come on—get real

How long will you let their hands shape you
Soft as clay, silent as blame?
How long will you pull others into the fire
Then claim innocence?
Will you stay asleep
A body without a voice
A crown without a head?
Heyyy
This isn't right—
You know it isn't
How long will you poison with whispers
Bend truth, bruise, threaten?
How long will you swallow fear
Call it patience, call it peace?
But you don't own your head, do you?
Hey
This isn't right—
You know it isn't
How long will you poison with whispers
Bend truth, bruise, threaten?
How long will you swallow fear
Call it patience, call it peace?
Yes
Face it
Face it—Say it
