Real

I only feel real 
   When I'm downing glasses full of depression
    And regret comes around every now and then
     banging on the door
      real turns its head 
  When rivers on my skin run too deep
      real becomes real 
  as my happiness only comes in waves 
      crawling through my brain
    only crashing for a night
      leaving me with false hope 
  But I'd take the real back
      If I could feel hurt 
  washing away with the glasses 
      I only feel real 
  when everything feels real
