Annie Christian: Nothing Is Real

Car crash twenty two times
Nothing stays down in the mind
Avoiding cracks in the pavement
Side by side another stone is another SUICIDE

Tall buildings trees of the urban
Landscape wide and filling rows
Repetitive lines to fall for
They pick us up and let us go

The only things I know are real
The things I can touch and taste and feel
The things I know I won't regret
The things that help me to forget

Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real

Marilyn a diptych
Taylor Elvis and Bellevue
Race riot Alabama
Through the eyes of Charles Moore

Death is all around
And it's the one thing
To count on when life gets too impure

The only things I know are real
The things I can touch and taste and feel
The things I know I won't regret
The things that help me to forget

Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real

Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real

Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real

Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
(Death is all around
And it's the one thing
To count on when life gets too impure)
