What if Love was Real (​?​)

from HONEST INJUN EP by TJ Felix

/

lyrics

if ignorance is bliss then public school's heaven
conditions are unliveable but firewater's helping me to adapt
holding my moms hand outside of 7-11
I swore if she let me go I'd never come back

thought I wouldn't come back but I did
hours, days, months, years i waited
I wanted to be somebody's kid
but I'm just something someone created

could u gather me up, I'm scattering
sick from the freedom of never mattering
trying to kick the habit of looking into mirrors endlessly shattering
tell me, how soon will beauty feel impossible..?

I cry & cry & cry
& no one comes but the wolves
raised on poison air & by pedophile machines
& I still have the nerve to hold onto my dreams

I mine my memory for relief
but there is only a harsh glow
life is fast but I always make time for grief
damn near lost everyone I know

but wut if luv was real?
but what if luv was real?

but what if love was real

I'd say goodbye if I thought that one of us might die
but the battles we've fought have taught us to laugh in the face of death
so hysterical even a dead man walking would bat an eye
we break the goddamn cycle with every hard won breath
