Real thing lyrics

it's taking larger doses now to make us feel alive while we're on the edge of something much more real don't leave me to my emptiness this grayscale silhouette this senseless repetition of our days this counterfeit give me the real thing not this watered down or in between I want the real thing not this middle ground I want the sight unseen addicted to this present tense these dollars make no sense we chase the wind this gold can't validate our existence shadow shadow where's your substance where's your shine shadow shadow i want the substance of this time
