Living in a Virtual Reality

from VIRAL MELODIES by Tavo Carbone

lyrics

I almost think I thought I knew you when
But that was before we were friends
The dream erodes my retinas, I wished them well
Should they be stuck in that dream? I can't tell

Living in a virtual reality
Is what I've been up to
Seems to me
Whenever the real reality turns its wheel again
I'll still have my hand open to extend

I don't want to change you or possess you
Don't wish to take away what makes you You
You are you as I am me so well
I don't think that loving someone is wrong

But I'm living in a virtual reality
Ask your pardon if I don't know what's real really
When so-called reality turns the heads again
I may not want to realize I'm playing pretend

Communication breakdown is always a waste
If you open up an oven you might get fire in your face
My head is ringing like a church tower bell
The clock has the time but hasn't much to tell

We're all living in a virtual reality
In a land of foolish martyrs, fancy free
Has the real reality played a cosmic joke on me?
There's nothing so convenient as the sea
Such an exceptional fascinating person to me
