Editor's note: I wrote this song two weeks ago in my hotel room in the Greater Detroit area. I've written my fair share of songs in hotel rooms. Sometimes I come up with a great one and sometimes I don't. I'll let you decide whether or not this song is up to snuff. Enjoy.
"Not For Real"
I. First verse
All you see
All you hear
All you have is so cheating
All you own
All you earn
All you make is so fleeting
A castle of sand
A cup of ashes
A one night stand
A thousand lashes
Chorus:
Not for real
Not for real
Not for real
Ghosts of fevered imaginations
Not for real
Phantoms of severed relations
Not for real
Shades of flaccid machinations
Not for real
...this time
II. Second verse
All you build
All you grow
All you sow is so craven
All you take
All you steal
All you blow is so graven
A castle of sand
A chalice of ashes
A one night stand
A thousand lashes
Chorus:
Not for real
Not for real
Not for real
Ghosts of fevered imaginations
Not for real
Phantoms of severed relations
Not for real
Shades of flaccid machinations
Not for real
...this time
Bridge:
No beach to walk on
No eyes filled with love
No sense for sensation
How does it feel to survive the storm?
Chorus:
Not for real
Not for real
Not for real
Ghosts of fevered imaginations
Not for real
Phantoms of severed relations
Not for real
Shades of flaccid machinations
Not for real
...this time
