Real Life

(Album: Menneskekollektivet - 2021)

Dear x and y, et cetera
Thank you for your email and request
I'll give you a short and a long answer
The short one is yes, it's okay
Then there is a longer version
But I don't know what it is yet
I don't have the words

So we have in the writing
The process of waiting for something to happen
This is the small beep on the cassette before the sound begins
This is the countdown to the movie reel
This is the drum roll
This is the alter riff
Where we are before we begin

This is where writing takes place
Writing comes in first

Being an adult and never a sentence
Every paragraph, every novel is here
You might say that I move on what I call life
Every way, reality, real life, reality life

There are things that form the circle
Circling the wrong place
Always send there's something looking in
Something where magic takes place

When we die, we become paper
Charcoals and a marker pen
Meanwhile we are merely content
Creators of what is called
Real life, real life, reality life

When we die, we become paper
Charcoals and a marker pen
Meanwhile we are merely content
Creators of what is called
Real life, real life, reality life

When we die, we become paper
Charcoals and a marker pen
Meanwhile we are merely content
Creators of what is called
Real life, real life, reality life
Reality life
