"Truth In Fiction" lyrics - THE OFFSPRING

THE OFFSPRING
"Truth In Fiction"

The video you're seeing now is not as it appears
Manipulated pixels are confirming all my fears
These toothpicks hold my eyelids up, so I can't look away, there's no more tears, oh
I know we'll never make it up to who we were before
Insanity is waking up and knocking on our door
Humanity is aching, I can't take it anymore

[Chorus:]
Well, aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made
Aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made

[Post-Chorus:]
Truth in fiction
Truth in fiction

The fantasy is ending and our dreams are fading fast
Reality is bending while the truth becomes the past
The future is surrendering, you'll find your truth in fiction of the facts, oh
It hits you like the ocean as it crashes through your door
This tragedy unspoken, I can't take it anymore
Leave my loneliness unbroken, quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

[Chorus:]
Well, aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's our mistake
Aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made
Well, aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we trade
Aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made

[Post-Chorus:]
Truth in fiction
Truth in fiction

So call it truth in fiction, that's exactly what it is
Society's affliction, we replace the truth with myth
It's your and my addiction, and it's solace in the past of how we lived, oh
It hits you like an ocean as it crashes through your door
This tragedy unspoken, I can't take it anymore
Leave my loneliness unbroken, quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

[Chorus:]
Well, aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's our mistake
Aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made
Well, aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we trade
Aha, deepfake (Deepfake)
Truth in fiction's what we've made
