Fake Believe

(album: The Yearbook - 2021)

Contemplation makes me sick
I'll pretend you don't exist
Don't condemn me, deal with it
Knowledge I'm so bored of it
I swear ignorance is bliss
Stupidity is a gift
Now that I'm a solipsist
Your point of view changes shit

The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore
I skip every single class in the school of thought
When you say there's an opinion I should explore
I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm so bored

I've been living in the world of make-believe
It's always pretty waking up inside a dream
Honey, you can take your sad reality
Away from me, away from me
When I'm living in the world of make-believe
I only ever see the things I wanna see
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe

Let me live my fantasy
No, I only see the things I wanna see
Cause I'm living in the world of fake believe
I'm in love with apathy
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe

Make bigotry great again
Let me stage a coup de main
I don't want to use my brain
I just want to complain
Build a wall and make 'em pay
I'm a saint because I pray
Jesus died for me to say
"You're not human, you're gay"

The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore
I skip every single class in the school of thought
When you say there's an opinion I should explore
I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm so bored

I've been living in the world of make-believe
It's always pretty waking up inside a dream
Honey, you can take your sad reality
Away from me, away from me
When I'm living in the world of make-believe
I only ever see the things I wanna see
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe

Let me live my fantasy
No, I only see the things I wanna see
Cause I'm living in the world of fake believe
I'm in love with apathy
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe

Your personal suppression is the root of your aggression
But there is no place in heaven for disciples of oppression
If heaven's where you're headed, then I'll burn my invitation
Because my idea of hell is singing in your congregation

I've been living in the world of make-believe
It's always pretty waking up inside a dream
Honey, you can take your sad reality
Away from me, away from me
When I'm living in the world of make-believe
I only ever see the things I wanna see
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe

Let me live my fantasy
No, I only see the things I wanna see
Cause I'm living in the world of fake believe
I'm in love with apathy
Nothing on the planet ever gets to me
When I'm living in the world of fake believe
