Artificial

I’m looking through my window at this artificial world

With its artificial lies

With its artificial flavoring

That in my mind built it up so high



It was my temporary bliss

An artificial dream

I reached for the stars

Only to find it broken at the seams



My artificial world

Full of my child-like desires

So wrapped up in nonsense and melancholy

That I forgot to put out the artificial fire



The artificial love

That had once touched my steady beating heart

Sneakily, tricked it into believing

To deviously tear it apart



All just a lie

To make me believe I was special

Make me feel alive

Until the day I realized everything was artificial.
