[Lyric] A Standard of Reality (The Flattened Soles)

What is happening around me
No one says what they really mean
Dancing around what they call mean
To me it's just a bit obscene
And it's not about how I feel
It's just a P.C. fatality
To me what is the most surreal
Is voiding the reality

And I'm still living at home
Can't find myself all alone
But I want independence
Improvement to my circumstance
But I'm living for now and I'm living for you
It's all for the struggle of staying true
It's a standard for me, but not you

And I wish you could see it through my eyes
I watch you all believe your lies
Open your eyes to the disguise
Those aren't your friends they're just allies
You're standing out just to stand in
Fighting a hateful, dying man
Playing the victim once again
But convince yourself that it's not a trend
And I'm still living at home
Can't find myself all alone
But I want independence
Improvement to my circumstance
And I'm climbing and climbing to reach the top
Fuck you if I make it or not
It's a standard for me, but not you

You take yourselves so seriously
But can't take a little comedy
And I was cool with conformity
But most of you seem the same to me
And my reflection in the door
Isn't taking shit no more
And I'm not blind to the world around me
Because I have the perception of three


And I'm still living at home
Can't find myself all alone
But I want independence
Improvement to my circumstance
But I'm living for now and I'm living for you
And I wish that you could see it too
It's a standard for me, but not you
