Real
i feel half-dead
after all i've bled and bled
i'm in over my head
this time
i'm
moving beyond
it's not enough anymore
opening leaves just a bigger
hole in the floor
to fall through
and everything floats and reels
it's not new
so i
wheel and deal
with those cutters of fate
and i pray that they take
one more year off the date
of when they will make
it
stop
a snip of the scissors
and the line goes dead
the buzzing you hear
is the world in my head
the life i have lead
that's now something i dread
so i've bled and bled
until i'm half-dead
and nothing feels real
nothing feels real.
so i'm falling
i'm spinning
uncontrollably winning
to prize that only
insanity gives
and i'm melting
i'm pushing
the outer limits
of this gushing
s-i wound of life
and this knife
is still here
and some scars
they never heal
and nothing feels real
nothing feels real.
and this is where
the conclusion goes
i suppose
but all this shows
is that any day
the sky could fall
and any day
i might hear the call
of something more
cuz this is not enough anymore
and why should i let myself heal
when nothing feels real
nothing feels real.
