I’m Not Real

This album is brought to you by water bags
Everything you’ve ever wanted and more
Water in a bag
You can marvel at it
You can drink it
As it does, in fact, contain water
In a bag

Side effects may include
Loss of limbs
Respiratory failure
Blood loss
Low circulation
Crippling paranoia
Suicidal thoughts
And dehydration
Some side effects are a guarantee
If you have one side effect, you have all of the side effects
Call an ambulance if you drink from the wa-

If you can’t tell I'm a little scared
I’ve only known sixteen people and none of them are here
This new-found joy and excitement turned into fear
And fear is its strongest when no one can hear
I built you up to mask my tears
But fear gets worse when I'm not real

Side effects may include
Loss of limbs
Respiratory failure
Blood loss
Low circulation
Crippling paranoia
Suicidal thoughts
And dehydration
Some side effects are a guarantee
If you have one side effect, you have all of the side effects
Call an ambulance if you drink from the water bag

I really thought having friends would help
But they don’t know me, they know my shell
My misconstrued fragments of self
Even those who knew me can’t tell

A simple plan to get away
Became a prolonged prison stay
Caged by habit that did not go away
And implanted into my brain

I know I'm not real

Side effects may include
Loss of limbs
Respiratory failure
Blood loss
Low circulation
Crippling paranoia
Suicidal thoughts
And dehydration
Some side effects are a guarantee
If you have one side effect, you have all of the side effects
Call an ambulance if you drink from the water bag
