I've been sleeping through my real life
Dreaming of electric heat hypnotized
I'm tryna look in God's eyes
But on my pilgrimage to the other side
When I finally made it up the hillside
It was my reflection I'd been chasing the whole time
You think you know what real life is
A bargain to escape myself
Closing the gap between me and my shell
You think you know what true love is
When you're still the main character in your film
Your life's too precious to give
♪
I resisted starting a family
Until I found life's meaning
Afraid of losing my hungry ghost energy
But becoming a genius is empty
In order to finish your poetry
You missed your daughter's wedding

You think you know what real life is

When you're still the main character in your film
