Making sure you look good for all to see
Wouldn't be caught dead not looking neat
High pedestal but low self esteem
The amount of on-lookers is all that you need
Paint yourself a life that you want em to see
Under all the colors? Insecurity
Perception is reality
All that's left is smoke and mirrors, nothing's real these days
We put ourself in front of the camera, we put ourselves on the stage
Behind the scenes they mold us, shape us just like clay
The box around our eyes controls us every day
When the act's done and the credits have rolled
What will your f*ckin' life's story have told?
Perception is reality
In the time you have left you gotta make a change
The way you frame the life you have, all that shit's deranged
Perception is reality
Perception is your f*ckin' reality
