I stare at the camera
You stare at the screen
Reach out to touch
The glass in between
I try to smile
You turn away
If this is a game show
I don't want to play
Why can't I just be free
Trapped in a world where I'm someone I shouldn't be
Oh I just want to feel
Something that is real
Dress like a mirror
Hoping you'll see
Someone familiar
The way they should be
The surface is broken
Reflections are wrong
Like knowing the words
Without knowing the song
So I take off my clothes
Scratch at my makeup
'Till all that is left is the bone
But at least I know it's real (Real)
Don't wanna live in a simulation
Losing my mind in this isolation
And as I go through the rain
Trying to think straight
But the feeling is always the same
At least I know it's real
Don't wanna live in a simulation
Losing my mind in this isolation
