 FantasticYouth “Un-Reality Escape” Lyrics
 Lyrics by LowFat, Sung by Onyu

 This world is full of so many things that are truly unreal
 Everyday reality just isn’t real… A first and final vacant space
 No fear of failure, you can always hit Ctrl-Z in a pinch
 The cables that connect everything are severed, and we’re better off that way

 However, one day we’ll realize
 That nothing will come out of this world
 A meaningless world that spirals on into an endless and eternal paradise
 Going out in search of meaning isn’t always the right course of action
 But there’s definitely possibility there
 Stand… walk… run… take flight!

  So escape the unreality, escape this unreality
  Don’t let it unravel like the laces on unfamiliar shoes
  From here, escape the unreality, escape this unreality
  To a place that shines brighter than light
 Go somewhere to, escape the unreality, escape this unreality
 Like playing a part in a comedy special
 Escape the unreality, escape this unreality
 Run and get away to truly live today
