Perfect view on a cloudless summer's day.
Perfect film with a happy ending.
But reality is not what it seems.
There's a perfect life that we all dream of.
The sound of your heart beating
But is it just the clock?
The warmth of your breath on my face.
Is that just a breeze?
The rush of the Earth beneath my feet.
The pain that stabs me as I wake from sleep
And the world comes tumbling
Down around me.
Down and drowns me.
Down around me.
Down and drowns me.
Perfect world in a spotless, flawless mind.
Perfect story that is never-ending.
But reality is not what it seems.
There's a perfect life that we all dream of.
The sound of your heart beating
But is it just the clock?
The warmth of your breath on my face.
Is that just a breeze?
The rush of the Earth beneath my feet.
The pain that stabs me as I wake from sleep
And the world comes tumbling
Down around me.
Down and drowns me.
Down around me.
Down and drowns me.

***Reviews***
It sounds really good. The combination of unpredictable chord progressions and nice sounding piano, meandering (but interesting) and constantly rising melody, solid lyrics, honest vocal and clean mix all make this a great recording.

Non-typical chord changes, and a good melody. Good work!

This is very honest music.
You've definitely found your own distinguishable way to write and perform.
