WHEN YOU TRY TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN REALITY (Lyrics)

[Scroll down to below the lyrics to listen]
It seems like the easy way
I guess that you'd like to say
You thought that it would always work out
When things aren't the way you like
You just redefine your life
Declare what the world's now about
Are you fooling us all or are you fooling yourself?
Redefining the terms of your life
Does the ground feel rock hard or is it like shifting sands?
Are you running headlong into strife?
So many traps and snares you fail to see
When you try to choose your own reality
If you're born way too small
Just identify as tall
Yeah, that could be so simple to do
You'll reach the top shelf yourself
And won't need to ask for help
But have you thought that fully through?
Are you fooling us all or are you fooling yourself?
Redefining the terms of your life
Does the ground feel rock hard or is it like shifting sands?
Are you running headlong into strife?
So many traps and snares you fail to see
When you try to choose your own reality
Why conform to the world you're in
Make the world conform to you (in your imagination)
That way you never have to grow at all
If only Peter Pan were true (Tinkerbell is your salvation)
When you're trying to be someone that you're not
And denigrating everything you've got (A very strange situation)
You're caught within the tangled web you weave
Imprisoned in the infancy you won't leave
If it's life you want to gain
Then open up to the pain
Of things that aren't the way that you dream
Accepting the pain, you know
That you'll have the chance to grow
Into someone you've partly been
Are you fooling us all or are you fooling yourself?
Redefining the terms of your life
Does the ground feel rock hard or is it like shifting sands?
Are you running headlong into strife?
So many traps and snares you fail to see
When you try to choose your own reality
Are you fooling us all or are you fooling yourself?
Redefining the terms of your life
Does the ground feel rock hard or is it like shifting sands?
Are you running headlong into strife?
So many traps and snares you fail to see
When you try to choose your own reality
So many traps and snares you fail to see
When you try to choose your own reality
