Ain't nothing real

There ain't no streets paved with gold
no elixir of youth to stop us from getting old
no magic words to make dreams come true
no amount of wishing will bring me to you

no genie in the lamp with three wishes
bumps and bruises can't be fixed with kisses
no bogeymen hiding under the bed
tales of dragons and things that we dread

no such thing as the elf on the shelf
things we invent to frighten ourself 
we're woken in the night by our own screams
as dark thoughts enter our dreams

is anything real am I really my name
are we all living in a computer game
are we being controlled by some other being
what is it that we're not really seeing

are we pixels and dots on someone's screen
are we controlled by the unseen
do we really have thoughts of our own
are we lost in the darkness all alone
