[Intro]
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream

[Verse 1]
Funhouse mirrors
Ain't how it looks, just how it appears
Shot in the dark, drop in the pier
Falling apart every time you're near
Every time you're near
Don't get close
See right through, but it ain't quite clear
Cut through the sheer
Up and down on the rollercoaster
Ain't no fun without the fear
Everyone's here, but I'm alone
Left my home, went to the doctor
Said I had imposter syndrome
"Click two of these, call in the morn'"
Trapped in the screen, Videodrome
Stared at myself in the stream
Jumped in the water, killed my phone
Oh, no

[Chorus]
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream

[Verse 2]
Stayed up late
Scrolled by someone I used to date
Hanging with someone that I hate
Felt like bait, clicked anyway
Switching the frame, hundred tabs
Breaking news, crash like waves
Crashed my page, too much ads
Forgot to save, attachment made
Read something the other day
Can't remember what it say
Heard a song the other day
Know the numbers, not the name
Treating fame just like a game
Higher scores, higher pay
Higher up on the poster
Bigger size of your name

[Chorus]
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream, yeah
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream

[Bridge]
We forget the source then we believe the echo
Said something you regret, it gets so hard to let go
Harder to reflect, all caught up in the web
It's so hard to connect

[Verse 3]
I want a better future
I want a better solution
Better institutions
Stronger constitution
Less confusion
More control over my contribution
More restitution
Less retribution
No restrictions
No more executions
No more wars
No more reckless movements
No more shootings
More people gaining
Less people losing it
More truth
Less lying up in the booth
More freedom for the youth
I know exactly what I want
How about you?

[Chorus]
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream, ha
It is what it is
It ain't what it seems
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream

[Outro]
We forget the source then we believe the echo
Said something you regret, it gets so hard to let go
Harder to reflect, all caught up in the web
It's so hard to connect
