I don't need the promises

The pretty little lies

The false marketing propaganda

In a cynic it's no surprise
I heard it all before

The bullshit promise of more

Oh yeah you love me

I don't need that love anymore
This is life

The lonely man watering a plant

Not the Facebook selfies

The real life, broken fucking heart
The drunks, the addicts

The struggle to survive

The abused, the beaten

Why are we alive?
You can pretend all you like

The pretty family pictures

I know what's real

When you picking at the stitches
