[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd be stuck in this bed
With a cheap clock ticking above my head
One for me, one for you, one for them

Nothing's real
[Verse 2]
I got nerves around my chest

One o'clock, two o'clock, three
How is it time runs away from me?
Call up my relatives, tell them I'm done
I'm a dead girl walking
I need medicine
[Chorus]
I see my heart beat inside a television screen
My body's not connecting, no
They're telling me that I'm fine
They're telling me there's nothing wrong
Game over
Nothing's real
[Refrain]
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
[Chorus]
I see my heart beat inside a television screen
My body's not connecting, no
They're telling me that I'm fine
They're telling me there's nothing wrong
Game over
Nothing's real
[Outro]
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Nothing's real
Game over
And nothing's real
