Stay For Real

In the brain
In the engine room
The game is a rout
I got fires to put out

In the rain
On an eastbound train
Rushing towards
Some kind of future

Where you found me
In the lonely
Wooden tower
Nothing’s more real
Than what it is
And I’m trying to
Show you

I’d never expect
You to deliver me
No I never wanted
Anything easily

Everything’s changing
But we gotta
Stay for real

The way that we speak
Is coming out differently
Nothing we wish for
Ever comes easily

Everything’s changing
But we gotta
Stay for real

Don’t be vain
Don’t swallow the bloom
Keep it plain and devout
As the fires burn out

In my brain
In an unlit lane
Marking a road
That leads to nowhere

Where you found me
In the lonely
Wooden tower
Nothing’s more real
Than what it is
That’s what I’m trying to
Show you

I’d never expect
You to deliver me
No I never wanted
Anything easily

Everything changes
But we gotta
Stay for real

The way that we speak
Is coming out differently
Nothing we wish for
Ever comes easily

Everything changes
But we gotta
Stay for real
