Tell Me It Was Real

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

Blue glow on the cold floor
I'm drunk and disoriented in this room
News about my life comes out like wind
My body screams for it
I mentally ask you to tell me it was real
How did this whole shit end?

New life, a prey ready to be eaten
My tears are gathering with the drink
I'm losing myself, come and pick up the pieces of me

I went from happy to broken in seconds
My friends say they warned me, but I ignore them
I just want him to tell me it was real
That I wasn't delusional, that I wasn't naive again
Through the windows I see what could have been
If I hadn't made a mistake, had made my mistake the truth
Now I'm on the floor drinking something that will give me a hangover

The next day my friends arrived
I was lying in the middle of the cold floor
No, I was dying on the cold floor
They joked that I had gone crazy
That I would kill him, but would I really do it
I gave my time
It's only fair that he gave his life

My empathy will be a knife
I'll break everything that reminds me of him
But I want him to say it was real
So I don't kill someone in vain

I went from happy to broken in seconds
My friends say they warned me, but I ignore them
I just want him to tell me it was real
That I wasn't delusional, that I wasn't naive again
Through the windows I see what could have been
If I hadn't made a mistake, had made my mistake the truth
Now I'm on the floor drinking something that will give me a hangover

Machiavellian, waiting for an opportunity
I drank every drink in that bar
I was planning my sweet revenge
I was planning to have powers

I went from happy to broke in seconds
My friends say they warned me, but I ignore them
I just want him to tell me it was real
