lyrics

To Be Real Anymore

I got so many things to tell ya, I can’t remember them all
My soul is a sticker on a greenroom wall
A plastic bag in a tree getting filled
With shit from a mythological bird that’s been killed
A bird that’s been killed

The heart is what a dominatrix can’t beat anymore
The heart is what a dominatrix can’t beat anymore
Hell I always thought I had a perfect dream
Hell I always thought I had a perfect scream
A perfect scream

It’s not my job, it’s not my chore, it’s not my fate
It’s not my job, and it’s not my chore
It’s not my fate to be real anymore

People steal poems now, tattoo ’em on their arms
I got into this business thinking no money no harm
But it always finds a way to scar
People thinking fame is where the ideas are
The ideas are

It’s not my job, it’s not my chore, it’s not my fate
It’s not my job, and it’s not my chore
It’s not my fate to be real anymore

And it’s got to be us, it’s got to be only us
Humankind erupts and reality
Is when we can’t escape it

It’s not my job, it’s not my chore, it’s not my fate baby
It’s not my job, and it’s not my chore
It’s not my fate to be real anymore
