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 have 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 
Life is real 
Life is real 
Yeah, life is real
