Pretend

lyrics

I like to pretend
the lights are the veins of a city that's sick.
I like to pretend
the beast is swimming under the blue.
I like to pretend
that i'm invisible
to avoid
nervous thoughts between me and you.

Isn't it better
not knowing?
Nothing at all...

I wore words like a badge
and hung up ghosts for show
so I could pretend
that I had when I needed it
and if everyone else
could believe I'm invincibly sure,
then I can pretend
that I don't need
words or ghosts anymore.

Isn't it better
not knowing?
Nothing at all,
you're nothing at all.

Making up makes me sick, but so does being alone.
So I'll make it up as I go.
Sure enough, you're a thought, you're just intangible too.
No need to avoid nervous thoughts between me and you.

Isn't it better
not knowing?
Nothing at all,
you're nothing at all.
