Reality...

Okay, I'm just going to say this once, so pay attention...reality sucks. Reality means no dreams ever come true, it means that imagination is that cute game we used to play when we were three, it means that the world is a cold hard place and that to have any kind of life we must be the same.
People always say "get your head out of the clouds", "that's the way it is", or -my favorite- "this is serious". Hahaha! I love it when people say that! If you know me you know that I'm probably laughing at something or other, or, if not, soon will be! While some people say that I'm insane I argue that the opposite is true, laughter helps us to keep our sanity.
Back to the point. Reality equals hopelessness, when you have that mindset of "this is the way things are" or "this is reality" then you have resigned yourself to your lot in life, you have decided that "the box" is too hard to break out of.

Reality

reality is used to much
misused too much
by reality TV
by magazines 
and by the darn society 

they say that I'm in denial
that I'm living in the clouds
they say I need to buckle down
they say I need to focus
or, my favorite:
to get serious 

Yeah, whatever
I say that the opposite is true
the world's in denial
they're living in a fog
trapped in a box
taking everything too seriously 

what is reality but what society makes it?
they say I live in fantasy 
fine
fantasy beats reality hollow
and I'd rather live in my fantasy 
than the world's reality 

Fantasy is our dreams
it is our imagination
ingenuity
genius 
and our hope 

while the world lives it's reality 
we'll live
laugh
and love 
together in our fantasy.
