This Is Not Real Life
Well, here I am
On the wrong edge of paradise
Waiting to see
How my world falls apart!
Is this a dream?
How could this be real life? I’m
Spiralling out of this plain of existence!
If this is real life, why am I just a thought
In someone else’s reality I
Think about my life and I can’t distinguish
If i’m real, or if this is some hellscape or dream.
This is not real life
I know now that it’s true
And I am stuck in here without escape
What, oh what can I do?
To be human like you
Instead of this empty shell I inhabit
