lyrics

theres no room to breathe if you got someone to be
you walk down the street with your pretty routine
but the cracks start to show, who’s been dimming your glow
it used to be anxiety but now you dont even know
there’s no point in breaking bread over existential dread
you deleted the take and cancelled the show
it felt like the real thing, but it sounds like a demo
now i’ve been caught up by the breath of the meadow

ahh, the real thing, is a far away dream now
ahh, the real thing, is a far away dream…dream… yeah

karmic collars, spending every useless dollar
the death of hero worship, cherished at the alter
there’s a mirror in your eyes, it always comes as no surprise

ahh, the real thing, is a far away dream now
ahh, the real thing, is a far away dream…dream… yeah
