ツクリバナシ (Tsukuribanashi)

[Intro]
Yeah, time to wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, yeah, time to wake up
Three, two, one, let's go

[Verse 1]
Sit down and write it, うまく言葉にできない
Nothing but a black colored pencil, try to paint the sky
Wonder why, every time, message miscommunicated
Start to end, play pretend, the feelings are reciprocated
甘い言葉と表現つまらない
真実なしで夢をか追いかけられない
Suffering inside while chasing someone else's scenery
Cause at the time that's whеre I wanted to be
Timе was ticking by, and I got sick and tired
Of ostentatious phrases and flattery
Lost in impatience and bored with the fakeness
It may just be another case of finding awakeness (Time to wake up)
Fame is a cheap disguise, people we idolize
Idol lies, taking the focus off our own lives
Somewhere along the line, those fantasies ended
I quit seeing through those colored lenses and realized

[Chorus]
(Hey!) If I was like halfway decent
I think I'd realize the right advice I need is
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
'Cause life has no ideal pieces
Convinced it's fine, if only in my imagination
I forget how, but time and time again
I always wind up getting let down (Time to wake up)
If I was like halfway decent
I think I'd realize the right advice I need is
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
'Cause life has no ideal pieces
A fairy-tale life where I find out the place that I belong is wrong
Reality, it comes down to me in an isolated room
Just dreaming

[Verse 2]
This kind of story reads like fabricated romance
I got conceited exaggerating average moments
It's just my day-to-day life, really the same as before
I'm just older and tired, don't gotta take my word for it (Take it back now!)
My days of no direction, traajectory unknown me
Perpetuated fiction when they told me how to be
Sketch a great adventure, bring it to life on paper
And every character wonder, "Could I look for something greater?"
Made to be and paid to be sipping at a savory life
Make believe that I could leave it all behind
Mental misbehavory, just a touch of bravery
Run away another day, break out of this mind

[Chorus]
(Hey!) If I was like halfway decent
I think I'd realize the right advice I need is
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
'Cause life has no ideal pieces
Convinced it's fine, if only in my imagination
I forget how, but time and time again
I always wind up getting let down (Time to wake up)
If I was like halfway decent
I think I'd realize the right advice I need is
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
'Cause life has no ideal pieces
A fairy-tale life where I find out the place that I belong is wrong
Reality, it comes down to me in an isolated room
Just dreaming

[Outro]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, oh-oh-oh
Reality, it comes down to me in an isolated room)
