Bringing the Make Believe House Down

Bringing the Make Believe House Down

Bringing the make believe house down

Moving the sofa out

As the paper wall falls down

As I look around

I am split in two

As I see the sugar glass windows falling through

As I open the fake paper door

It falls straight on the fake wooden floor

I turn around

I am split in two

The kitchen sink is there no more

As I hoover up the paper floor

As another wall is taken from this make believe house

I am stood in a room with no doors

I am stood in a room with no wooden walls

As I move around the paper floor

The camera crew move the sofa out the make believe living room

The walls of the kitchen return

The wooden bedroom walls make their way onto the stage floor

I want to close a door

As the camera looks at me straight on

My make believe house has gone

Only the wooden paper floor I stand on

The camera crew have cleared this fake room

I am split in two

As the camera crew bring these fake walls back

I am amused

I am confused

I am split in two

Surrounded by fake walls and doors

Am I in a play?

Am I in a music video?

I am split in two

Who are all these fake people?

I stand in a make believe house

I just turn around

I walk across the ground

I am surrounded by fake wooden walls

As I’m being filmed straight on

Standing in a room that the camera crew have just moved in

I’m standing in this make believe house

I am confused

I am in pain

I am split in two

I looking straight on at a camera crew

Who are these people?

Bringing down the make believe house
