REALITY
SO EASY
So easy; oh oh
So easy to forget
Forget and neglect
Forget, neglect and fret
Forget, get upset, then regret
So easy to look away
Look away, then walk away
Look away, sway, misplay
Look away, stray and downplay
Maybe it'd be better
To confront actuality
Maybe it'd be better
To confront reality.
So easy to ignore the signs
Ignore the deadlines
Ignore the guidelines and confines
Ignore the signs and resign
So easy to forget
So easy to look away
So easy to ignore the signs
So easy; very easy
