True North - Disconnect lyrics
[True North - Disconnect lyrics]
Out of the darkness into a place
Filled with blinding light so you
Can't hide your face
Out of desire, you can't turn away
The screen comes on, but you can't turn away
As I slip into a role
And the moment takes control
Now I'm starting to turn heads
The spotlight starts to shine on
Just how quickly we're mislead
We're all so superficial
We try so hard to fit the visual
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
Pretty faces and pretty scenes
But it's all black and white
Painting pictures through a filter
Into real life
The marks you draw hide every flaw
You've got the perfect glow
And the whole world
The whole world has to know
Who do you pretend to be?
We're all so superficial
We try so hard to fit the visual
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We only do it for them
If I could change myself from the inside out
I'd never be afraid to show
It's my true colors that are beautiful
Not the ones that I pretend to be
If I can't look away from
The eyes that watch me
(I can't help it, I just need it)
Then I will never escape from who
They want me to be
(I can't help it, I just need it)
I'll overcome the love that
I so desperately need
Filled with blinding light so you
Can't hide your face
Out of desire, you can't turn away
The screen comes on, but you can't turn away
As I slip into a role
And the moment takes control
Now I'm starting to turn heads
The spotlight starts to shine on
Just how quickly we're mislead
We're all so superficial
We try so hard to fit the visual
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
Pretty faces and pretty scenes
But it's all black and white
Painting pictures through a filter
Into real life
The marks you draw hide every flaw
You've got the perfect glow
And the whole world
The whole world has to know
Who do you pretend to be?
We're all so superficial
We try so hard to fit the visual
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We spend minute after minute
Trying to perfect the whole time
We should've tried to disconnect
We don't do it for us
We only do it for them
We only do it for them
If I could change myself from the inside out
I'd never be afraid to show
It's my true colors that are beautiful
Not the ones that I pretend to be
If I can't look away from
The eyes that watch me
(I can't help it, I just need it)
Then I will never escape from who
They want me to be
(I can't help it, I just need it)
I'll overcome the love that
I so desperately need
