Harsh Light Of Reality Lyrics - Singles - Human Radio

(R. Rice/P. Hyrka) 

in the harsh light of reality 

we wear our shades or we close our eyes 

trip over our morality 

pick up ourselves with our little white lies 

indulge in our brutalities 

though it's ourselves we come to despise 

in the hard light of reality 

but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent 

we don't sleep so easily 

if we can't dream of innocence 

we wish for immortality 

while making sure that it'll never happen 

count up all the fatalities 

and judge their values by the flags they're flapping 

our fake spirituality 

is pretty shabby in its silver wrapping 

in the harsh light of reality 

but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent 

we don't sleep so easily 

if we can't dream of innocence 

in the harsh light of reality 

our progress often seems like mere destruction 

so much for rationality 

as long as we are keeping up production 

we fail to grasp the actualities 

our problems really are our own construction 

in the harsh light of reality 

but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent 

we don't sleep so easily 

if we can't dream of innocence
