"Make it Real"
[Intro – airy atmosphere]
[Haunting female vocal.]
[Soft whispery tone in verses.]
[Echo and space.]
[Chorus becomes stronger and rebellious.]
[Band grows bigger but not aggressive.]
(Intro - whisper)
(Whispered words)
Life gets strange sometimes…
Everybody pretending…
[Verses soft and mysterious, chorus more powerful and confident.]
(Verse 1)
Why you looking over your shoulder
Like someone’s keeping score
Why you acting like your heart
Is something you should ignore
When it’s just you and me talking
You’re real and unafraid
But when the crowd comes around
You start to slowly fade...
(Pre-Chorus)
Tell me why you change your face
Just to fit their scene..
(Chorus - bigger / rebellious)
Why you gotta hide your light
Act like faith’s a crime
Running from the truth inside
Every single time
Life’s too short to fake it
Too loud to stay quiet
If you believe in something
Don’t be scared to say it..(make it real)
(Verse 2)
Everybody chasing approval
Like it’s oxygen
Dressing up their hearts
Just to blend in..
But I’ve seen the real you
When the world gets quiet
And there’s nothing in your eyes
That says you should deny it..
(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t have to play the part
Just to be accepted (real)
(Chorus)
Why you gotta hide your light
Act like faith’s a crime
Running from the truth inside
Every single time
Life’s too short to fake it
Too loud to stay quiet
If you believe in something
Don’t be scared to say it..(make it real)
(Bridge break - grunge guitar solo)
(Bridge - music opens, emotional)
Maybe the brave thing
Is standing alone
Maybe the truth
Is already known..
(Final Chorus - strongest)
Don’t you hide your light
Don’t you dim your flame
Nothing in this world
Should make you ashamed
Life’s not complicated
People just pretend
But the truth inside your heart
Is where it all begins..(are you for real?)
(Outro - soft again)
(Whispered words)
Just be real…
That’s enough.
... Make it real...
