Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am I real if you can see right through me
If I'm in a magazine?
Do you believe it, do you believe?
Do you believe it, do you believe?
[Verse 2]
Am I real if I'm a broken record
Sellin' you what you don't need?
Do you believe it, do you believe?
Do you believe it? I don't
[Verse 3]
Do you ever wonder what we learn?
We can raise our glasses, dancin' on the ashes as it burns
Have you reached the point of no return?
We can raise our glasses, dancin' on the ashes as it burns
[Verse 4]
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
Through a silver screen you're sayin' what you mean, but I can't tell
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
If none of this is real, than show me what you feel, 'cause I can't tell
[Verse 5]
Is it right if I'm a perfect actress?
Playin' the princess in distress
Is it enough yet, is it enough?
Is it enough yet, is it enough?
[Verse 6]
Is it alright if I save myself and
If I clean up my own mess?
Is it enough yet, is it enough?
Is it enough yet? 'Cause I've had enough
[Verse 7]
Do you ever wonder what we learn?
We can raise our glasses, dancin' on the ashes as it burns
Have you reached the point of no return?
We can raise our glasses, dancin' on the ashes as it burns
[Verse 8]
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
Through a silver screen you're sayin' what you mean, but I can't tell
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
If none of this is real, than show me what you feel, 'cause I can't tell
[Verse 9]
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
Through a silver screen you're sayin' what you mean, but I can't tell
Is this heaven, or is this hell?
If none of this is real, than show me what you feel, 'cause I can't tell
