Real Life

I spy
With my little eye
Something that is
Old and tired
But too young
Too young to die
Tell me why oh why
Do I try
If the world's
Giving up
So am I

I fell but I didn't cry
Sticks and stones can't hurt but oh
Your lies
They cut like knives
Tell me why oh why
Do you try
And make believe that
Everything's just fine

I scratch and I fight
To barely survive
Is this my real life
Once high at once low
I do what I'm told
Couldn't stop
Even if I wanted to

My oh the years they fly
I refresh the page as I
Watch all the lives
Passing me by
Tell me was this the vision for my life
That you saw
When you kissed me goodnight

Could I turn it around
Broken promises compound
I took it all
And swallowed it down
Tell me were you afraid
I might drown
What's the age
We start saving
Ourselves

I scratch and I fight
To barely survive
Is this my real life
Once high at once low
I do what I'm told
Couldn't stop
Even if I wanted to

I scratch and I fight
To barely survive
Is this my real life
Once high at once low
I watch it unfold
Couldn't stop
It if I wanted to
