----LYRICS----
We’re all trying to understand ourselves
And the choices that we make
What's your real character?
If you’ve done both very good & been a snake

Sometimes I do all the talking
Sometimes I say nothing at all
Sometimes I act confident
Sometimes I am sheepish & two feet tall

Who knows why we are the way we are?
(I’ve asked myself the same question)
I think our lives are the dreams of someone else
(Maybe we’re all connected in some way)

And our dreams are their real lives
We get to test drive
In a strange corner of this fucked up life
For my sake, I hope you’re a good guy
A good guy

Do you ever see a picture
From years ago and think
That person and I, we’re not related
How’d I change in such a blink?
I feel like I’m barely in the same body

I used to be a snap case
Never was under control
Screaming “F” bombs without a blink
And punching at the walls

Why was I so mad?
Was that me at the core?
I kicked the shit out of myself man (talk it out)

Who knows why we are the way we are?
(If you could have the answer to one question, what would it be?)
I think our lives are the dreams of someone else
Are we alone in this universe?
Is there life after death?
Does god exist?

And our dreams are their real lives
We get to test drive
In a strange corner of this fucked up life
For my sake, I hope you’re a good guy

I remember you in my memories
But what if my memories of you weren’t true?
I remember you in my memories
But what if my memories of you weren’t true?
What would I do?
What would I do?

You’re a figment of my imagination
Just a part of someone’s else dream
In another constellation
Wo-oh-oh (Hey! hey! hey!)

Who knows why we are the way we are?
(Its okay not knowing all the answers)
(It’s this thirst for knowledge that drives us)
I think our lives are the dreams of someone else
(Maybe life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced)

And our dreams are their real lives
We get to test drive
In a strange corner of this fucked up life
For my sake, I hope you’re a good guy

  • @ghcstboy6556
    Good music guys keep it up as long as your happy :)
  • i was obsessed with this song since it first came out, but only recently got more attached when i listened closer and realized it has a strong sense of meaning connected to how i express myself as a writer, with characters that closely resemble a "better" version of myself, exploring possibilities and opportunities that i myself consider almost as an experiment. first time i realized it as i was listening i started SOBBING needless to say i love you guys so much :')
  • @DUDEAWESOMEa
    This reminds me of an old friend whom I last met 9 years ago. She was really close to me despit being my rival for the previous 3 years. This song made me cry.
  • @PotatoQueen_
    This song gives me so many "watching the sunset with your partner" vibes and I love it.
  • @hio.hinomaru21
    I'm here as fast as I could, what a good guys to drop a good songs
  • @ZMetre_
    Love this song and love you guys, keep up the great music. You know if there is ever a moment where you look back on yourself and feel bad for the things you did, just know that it is a sign of your own improvement. Don't beat yourself up over the past, look forwards to the future!
