The Real Thing - After Midnight Project

These pills are the medicine

That we use to hide behind when we’re awake

Money is everything

We blanket ourselves under the greed

Fancy cars, elastic smiles, what a show

I better wrap my heart in cellophane, come on

This is not the real thing, this is not real

You fake, you take, you break everything around

You still conceal, this is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

I delve for absolution

But my thoughts get distracted by desire

Yeah, it’s all about who you know

It’s all about being the biggest star

The sugar keeps us sweet for an hour at a time

All aboard the bullet train

This is not the real thing, this is not real

You fake, you take, you break everything around

You still conceal, this is not the real thing

This is not

I want it all, I want it now

Pick me up from the ground just to throw me down

I’m scared of you who throws opinions

Each and every way

You’re not real, you’re not real

This is not real, you’re not real

You fake, you take, you break everything around

You still conceal, this is not real

You fake, you take, you break everything around

You still conceal, this is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

The real thing, the real thing

The real thing, the real thing

The real thing, the real thing

The real thing
