Jacob Birney - This Place Is Fiction Lyrics

Never walked in the footsteps of anybody else
But I'll stand by their side if it could help
Can only see the world through my own eyes
Keep myself checked, fix myself right

My mother tells me that dinosaurs aren't real
I think she's crazy but at least she tells me how she feels
Still when I look at her, I got so much in mind
I have so many questions, where'd she find the time?

Collected and woven, trying to be more open
Being soft spoken never got me chosen
You'll find the words after you have nothing to say
So stall for time, before they go

"Tractor trailer, broken body"
Reading through notebooks, that one stopped me
Something about my uncle, when he was diagnosed
Grandpa was trying to figure it out in all of his notes
Tried to find some more but that's all that he wrote

Cared about my uncle, even when I wasn't there
He's gone now, but at least he won't be scared
Some time will pass, but you won't be forgotten
He can still be with us

I'm searching for this place of fiction
Where everything's perfect, there's no conditions
It doesn't have a clear admission
But you got to admire the sheer ambition

My dad tells me it's her time soon
You've made it this far, god bless you
I hope when she leaves it's calm on that day
Hope she finds peace and feels no pain

I'm scared of the world that's being left behind
I see my sister and keep a good piece of mind
Sometimes think that all we do is try
But I know I'm no better, I'm just getting by

Do you really think we'll be okay
You tell me what to say when we
Start to stray off and crash the
Plain, simple, blue, green days are coming
Wish you could have came
By, it won't be the same
But we'll get by again
