Guilt stains on my pillow

Blood on my terraces

Torsos in my closet

Shadows from my past life is real

Life is real, life is real, so real

Sleeping is my leisure

Waking up in a minefield

Dream is just a pleasure dome

Love is a roulette wheel - life is real

Life is real, life is real, oh yeah

Success is my breathing space

I brought it on myself

I will price it

I will cash it

I can take it or leave it

Loneliness is my hiding place

Breastfeeding myself

What more can I say

I swallowed the bitter pill

I can taste it, I can taste it

Life is real, life is real, life is real

Music will be my mistress

Loving like a whore

Lennon is a genius

Living in every pore

Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real

Life is cruel

Life is a bitch

Life is real - so real
