T. Karras - Realization Lyrics

There comes a point in time
Where you realize
Everything around you
Now you don't know what to say or do
I've been on the path of life
Never really thought twice
Then I realized somethin' wasn't right
Now I have to make my future bright

I've been thinkin' about my life this past year
The COVID era had me left in tears
Everything I knew was gone, washed away forever
Five of my friends died and I'll always remember
Shows went downhill, movies went downhill
Now it's about pretentiousness, nothin' is real
Can't go a second without bein' tempted by the blue check
Can't go a second without the disrespect
Everybody on their phones, it's affectin' their domes
Infectin' everybody cause it puts them in the zone
I admit, I was a zombie needin' a quick fix
And then I realized that my mind didn't really need it
What can I do in order to live in this world
Where people die of suicide, it feels so cold
I refuse to bow down to be a part of a clique
My mental health more important than fame and hits
That's what's up

There are things I didn't realize
Until my dreams died
Used to think I was big
Now I realize I'm an average guy
Used to believe my delusions and lies
Now look at the tears in my eyes
Just the consequences of life
Here's my advice, make the right choices
Don't be me
