i sold my life on the internet
the man who bought it
didn't realize
how much i was worth
the house i lived in
echoes now and holds a chill
everything i called my own
seems bigger now it's not mine
he paid for my life
in dirtied, worn cash
he'd been saving up
for something this big
i'm looking for a new life now
maybe i'll just buy
someone else's world
i went on TV to find a soulmate
all i found were plastic people
with paper mache hearts
and wax lips
they set me up with an actor
we went on a date
to my favorite italian place
but the conversation was scripted
and the laughter was pre-recorded
the cameras added 50lbs
and followed us all night
i should've known
souldmates don't exist
in sitcoms and gameshows
who knows anymore
if they're even real at all.
