The Real Me

[Verse 1]
They say to me it's key to be yourself
Authenticity is king
Never seek to seem like someone else
But pretending's irrelevant
Since I've seen the true, the real me

[Chorus 1]
I'm a teenage boy in the year 2345
Who's playing on a simulation of my life
And kids in the future have it pretty alright
So none of my fears are real
I'm just beams of light on his screen and
It's so freeing to know when my life feels static (game pause)
He's probably just peeing

Teenagе boy
Play my life's course
To escapе out of yours
I've just got one question of sorts
Why'd you make me so bad at sports?

[Verse 2]
When you think about it, it makes sense
That our actions are all controlled
By a group of future adolescents
Sometimes I act like a twelve year old
But you can't blame me for peeing on the seat
It's not my fault

[Chorus 2]
It's the teenage boy in the year 2345
Who's making me aim very slightly to the right
In the toilet inside the V.R. synthesiser
His momma gave his pop in 2329
I can see him, and he's feeling
A bitter-sweet nostalgia for a period
That he's never peed in

Teenage boy
Make me dance through my life
Wish I could see what you look like
But from the dance moves you're makin' me try
I would guess that you're probably white

[Bridge]
And does the teenage boy ever wonder if
I can feel his joy in me?
And does the teenage boy ever contemplate
The fact that there could be
Another teenage boy in the year 8345
Who's playing on a simulation of his life
And every time he moves he is feeding the minds
Of the overlords who keep him all suspended in slime

I can see him and he's feeling
Their tiny little tentacles which tickle him
To keep him from sleeping

[Outro]
Teenage boy
Thank you for fighting
Through a true sacrifice and
Living out your husk of a life
So that my one can be alright
Be alright
