My New Reality

from Beyond My Showerhead by Tommy DiMeo

/

lyrics

Set me up
With the latest trends you're into
I'm a doll that you dress up
You're just this feeling I give in to
We play games
So you can get your high
And I can feel I'm worth somebody's time

I had this vision in the shower
Scalding water sent me back
To nights we used to talk for hours
Seven hours, we kept track
Much more than soap went down the drain
Can't stand your image on my brain
Before 18 I was tattooed
Upon my mind, ideas of you

And me
And thoughts of how's it gonna be
When you don't know me anymore
Stealing all my words from songs I’d heard
Before we got together
Entangled in our own ideas of
Happy ever after
These new-fangled ways we string ourselves along

I'm having visions in my shower
Scalding water sent me back
To nights we used to talk for hours
Seven hours, we kept track
Much more than soap went down the drain
Can't stand your image on my brain
Before 18 I was tattooed
Upon my mind, ideas of you

You're not my future anymore
I've felt alone in crowded rooms
They found me cornered on the couch
Singing, "My new reality.
This is my new reality"

Eyes dry
Floor wet with beer
My mind, lost and fighting tears

Eyes dry
Floor wet with beer
My mind, lost and fighting tears

Eyes dry
Floor wet with beer
My mind, lost and fighting tears

Eyes dry
Floor wet with beer
My mind, lost and fighting tears

Eyes dry
Floor wet with beer
My mind, recounting all the years (recounting all the years X3)

I wrote these lyrics in the shower
Scalding water sent me back
To nights we used to talk for hours
Through the years I have lost track

Those days are fading from my brain
I let them slide right down the drain
Yet here I stand, a flooded bathroom
