Lyrics
Real Or Not
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say the devil's in the details
I know what they mean
I'm walking in the wasteland
With the Ghost in the Machine
There's a simulated sunset
Starlight in my eyes
The skies are filled with miracles
And half of them are lies
Are you real or not?
It's a fine line
Are you ready or not
For the light of day
Are you real or not?
These are strange times
And I don't want to live this way
When you wake up from a nightmare
And it's worse when you're awake
And there's no one you can turn to
And there's nothing you can take
Are you real or not?
It's a fine line
Are you ready or not
For the light of day ?
Are you real or not?
These are strange times
And I don't want to live this way
