They’re Not Real Lyrics by Molly Rice

Angelmakers: Songs for Female Serial Killers

2018

This one's for Elizabeth
Well, because the blood improved my skin
It really did improve my skin
I’m expected to have good skin
With the portraits
Countless Countess events
It really did improve my skin
This is an objective fact
I borrowed their beautiful skin
What were they going to use it for
In their dark barns and dead fields
Well, because it was inside my skin
The hunger was inside my skin
To make them feel something beyond
Just their commonplace
Their dreary day gray
Pain is full of bright colors
Reds and oranges and purples and pinks
I filled them up with these colors
And they filled me up in return
What more were they going to do
In their dark barns and their dead fields?
Why not do something important
In the castle
With the Countess?
CHORUS:
They aren’t real, you know
They aren’t real
They’re so small from up here
They’re pretend from up here
They’re like dolls, you know
They’re like poorly made dolls
With shabby old dollclothes
And tiny rough hands
They don’t have anything
There are thousands of them
All the same, all identical
Crawling over each other
They’re not people, exactly
They’re not real
Not like you or like me
Not like you or like me
Not like me
Not like me
They have sealed me into this tower
Thin white with one window that opens to sky
I can hear the armies of farmers they’re weeping for daughters on bath days they’ll never forget--
But I just--
It’s so funny--
Nobody cared until OUR girls went missing
The noble girls
The rich pretty girls
Nobody lifted a finger to stop me
They know
What you and I know:
CHORUS:
They aren’t real, you know
They aren’t real
They’re so small from up here
They’re pretend from up here
They’re like dolls, you know
They’re like poorly made dolls
With shabby old dollclothes
And tiny rough hands
They don’t have anything
There are thousands of them
All the same, all identical
Crawling over each other
They’re not people, exactly
They’re not real
Not like you or like me
Not like you or like me
Not like me
Not like me
