Description
I wrote this melody when I was 15 - inspired by love lost and Cindy Sherman's photography (which a show on TV was about at the time). I gave it a fresh lick of (grease)paint and iVor got carried away.
It has a funny thing .. most songs have key changes that go up .. this one goes down. (?)

Lyrics
Your not happy with the real world,
So you make one of your own,
Think your free from all around you,
Your reality your home,
'Cos it's better than the real one,
Where they keep trying to do you in,
You keep searching for an answer,
Trying to be someone else ..
That your not,
And it's a bad way,
It's the wrong way.
Believe me,
There has got to be an easier way,
You'll try someday.
So you put on some make-up,
Try to hide that face within,
But those eyes deceive you,
Your disguise is wearing thin,
Like a pic by Cindy Sherman,
You'll soon be hangin' off the wall,
You keep searching for an answer,
Trying to be someone else ...
An' if your honest with yourself,
You will see that you are only lying, only lying
An' if I'm honest with myself,
You will see that I am only lying,
only lying.
So you make one of your own,
Think your free from all around you,
Your reality your home,
'Cos it's better than the real one,
Where they keep trying to do you in,
You keep searching for an answer,
Trying to be someone else ..
That your not,
And it's a bad way,
It's the wrong way.
Believe me,
There has got to be an easier way,
You'll try someday.
So you put on some make-up,
Try to hide that face within,
But those eyes deceive you,
Your disguise is wearing thin,
Like a pic by Cindy Sherman,
You'll soon be hangin' off the wall,
You keep searching for an answer,
Trying to be someone else ...
An' if your honest with yourself,
You will see that you are only lying, only lying
An' if I'm honest with myself,
You will see that I am only lying,
only lying.

This song had a "wired" feeling at the beginning but then settled down into just a fast groove! ;-)
Good vocals and accompaniment mix; very well-balanced and nicely put-together. There was a cool synth sound in my right earphone which I wish were a little more prominent; it was a nice spice.
I liked the instrumental section towards the end, but wish it had occured between the verses instead of ending with it.
