Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up with dust on my tongue
Dreams in my hands, gone before noon
I’ve seen the hungry line up young
Seen little kings in a cardboard room
They talk of gold, they talk of escape
But bills got teeth and they do not sleep
I want to run, I want to save
I want to pull them out too deep
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know the truth
It cuts like bone
You can’t feed hope
With a borrowed throne
[Chorus]
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
You can hold it close
You can make it sing
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
It hurts, it’s hard
But it gives me wings
[Verse 2]
I would help the ones left in the rain
The homeless saints on the broken block
The children taught to wear that chain
Forced into crime by a missing lock
If I had millions, I’d split the sky
Buy back time for the ones below
But I’m just a man with an open eye
And a heart too big for the road I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I stand here
Feet in stone
No sweet lie
Can make us whole
[Chorus]
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
You can hold it close
You can make it sing
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
It hurts, it’s hard
But it gives me wings
[Bridge]
So beat that drum
Let the whole room shake
Call my name
If the night won’t break
I won’t chase smoke
I won’t fake that glow
I’ll build with my hands
What I know
[Chorus]
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
You can hold it close
You can make it sing
Reality is the only thing
Reality is the only thing
It hurts, it’s hard
But it gives me wings
