"PRETENSE" lyrics

It's getting harder each and every day
When the strength it takes to wake up is starting to decay
Have you ever felt the color in your patterns fade to grey?

Tell me your story, is it worth it?
In the end we're six feet under, insignificant
It's been years since I've felt at home
And all I want is to be left alone

My mind has left me sinking
There's nowhere left to go (alone)
The waves are pulling me under
And I start to choke

Find me gone, leave me dead
In my head, I feel the pretense
Move along, don't forget
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it

Stay awake or get caught
In my head, every word that is said is
Much worse than I thought
When you carry the weight for so long you forget where it's gone

Looking back on that part of my life
Any second it could turn on a dime
Clock ticking, am I out of time?
Born to die, living in a world of lies

Take back all the promises
Take back all the things I said
Start to crack, feel the blowback
Yeah, as the pressure makes you snap

Find me gone, leave me dead
In my head, I feel the pretense
Move along, don't forget
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it (whoa, whoa)
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it (whoa, whoa)
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it

I'm already halfway
I'm already halfway gone

My mind has left me sinking (left me sinking)
There's nowhere left to go (left to go)

Find me gone, leave me dead
In my head, I feel the pretense
Move along, don't forget
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it (whoa, whoa)
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it (whoa, whoa)
Pretend that you wouldn't remember it
