something real

How can you breathe without exhaling?
How can you see with eyes shut tight?
Why are you scared to feel the warmth?
And therefore only trust the night
Why do you let him be your habit?
Surrender sense for one more fix?
Why play a game you know you'll lose?
And bet your heart on magic tricks
Exerting so much strength for nothing
Running flat-out standing still
Dreaming dreams you don't believe in
And have no faith left to fulfill
Trust me, I know it's not that easy
To change a life your molded to
But it's not really life now, is it?
It's not your heart if nothings true
It's time to stop the wistful yearning
Do something radical and real
If you never bear the scars
How can you know that you will heal?
