This Is The Real World

 

Still you go on surviving

That’s what you do

A twisted lust for life

Is killing you

The strangled cries of reason

Now drift away

And everyone has gone

But you still stay

 

When all your dreams lay broken

And it’s all gone sour

The swallowed pride kills you from inside

Do you think you’re the only one

 

Fall through your blood shot lives

In a cut-throat world

‘Cos in the end it’s always

Swine for pearl

 

How can it be so good to be alive

When you’re feeling so dead inside

The shifting sands reveal in me

All the things I don’t wanna be

 

A hand to mouth existence

Is this your fate

The poison pen has broken

Something changed (something died)

 

More holes that you can’t mend

When they make a pretence at being your friends

Dead thoughts that feed your rage

Can’t help yourself, but something’s gotta change
