Disconnect - True North

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
