This is Real Life

Create a place through shapes and shades.
Build a blinding stage where beauty's made,
but when your colors fade, everything will change.
I’m trying hard to imagine better, daydream him I’ll wait forever,
I'll pray that our paths blur together.

It might not be true, but it’s the best I can do,
it’s only to keep a little piece of you.
I can’t keep it inside, I have to shout it out loud,
all of the things I couldn’t live without.
And I’m pouring my heart and I’m spilling my soul,
and I’m taking a breath, and he’s giving his own.
And I wanna walk out from the trouble I’m in,
‘Cause I’m really not sure where to begin.

And if faking it will make it better, better than it was before;
and lies could bring us close together, so I won’t be lonely no more.
Pretending it doesn’t matter, could help me pass the time.
Make believe he’ll hide forever.
This is Real Life.
This is Real Life.
This is Real Life.
This is Real Life.
Its time to see the Real Life.

Paint your world full of tones,
write the story so you know how it goes,
but my heart’s alone, ‘till he comes home.
He’ll make a decision, he’ll have no choice,
and I’ll hold him close, he’ll hear my voice.
And I’ll pray we’re together, forever.

Take a deep breath, go for a walk,
wish he were here, ‘cause we got to talk.
I can’t keep it inside, I have to shout it out loud,
all of the things I couldn’t live without.
And I’m pouring my heart and I’m spilling my soul,
and I’m gasping for air ‘cause he’s giving it all.
And he wants to wake up from the dream he’s been in,
and start it all over so we can really begin,

And if faking it would make it better, better than it was before;
and lies could bring us close together so I won't be lonely no more.
Pretending it doesn't matter, could help me past the time.
Make believe he'll hide forever.
This is Real life. (I'm just trying to survive)
This is Real Life. (Every day I need a lie)
This is Real Life. (Taking one step at a time)
This is Real Life. (In make believe,)
Its time to see... (the Real Life)

While he’s taking the steps, and is making a stand.
He’s pulling down walls, and doing all that he can.
He’s through with black and white and drawing the lines,
between make believe and Real Life. (I'm just trying to survive)
This is Real Life. (Every day I need a lie)
This is Real Life. (Taking one step at a time)
This is Real Life. (In make believe,)

My real dreams and real love.
You need the things that you can touch.
This make believe is not enough.
It's time to see,
The Real Life

Some of you might remember my other pic based off this song - [link]

This is perhaps my favorite song of all time....
I won't lie, I've always had a hard time drawing the line between imagination and reality. I simply don't want to, I feel like all my colours are drained and I'm in a world of gray....Either way, I'm proud of this pic

Song is the ending to 'Drawn to Life - The Next Chapter'
