"I basically write the tune [first]. I write the song around the melody most of the time. Sometimes a lyric will get me started. 'Life Is Real' was one of those, because the words came first.

Lyrics

Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past
Life is real life is real
Life is real so real

Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream in just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel
Life is real life is real
Life is real oh yeah

Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breast feeding myself
What more can I say?
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it I can taste it
Life is real life is real
Life is real

Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real life is real
Life is real so real
Life is cruel life is a bitch
Life is real so real
Life is real life is real yeah
Life is real
