Pretender Lyrics by July Talk

Pray For It

0

[Verse 1]
You walk in like Birkin
Monologue 'em into the light
A preacher in a playhouse
Somewhere 'round the corner outside
I heard you're no first-time offender
You're no pretender

[Verse 2]
You got the room in your hand
They never fully understand
All the power you found
Driftin' through the window outside
No allegiance to legal tender
You don't

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it on the inside
No shadows in your mind

[Chorus]
You seem to drift across that line
Through the ceiling
You don't try to define it
Simplify and confine it
You're unfazed, unaffected
Unafraid of what you do not know

[Verse 3]
An altar for energy
We come close to witness it
In order to love her
There's a target above her
I lean in real close as an informer
What if you're just a performer?

[Verse 4]
You hear a whisper
But the bodies follow closely now
You just smile, ask me to
Take a seat on the stairs
Not the night for another bender
Cannot stray from the center

[Pre-Chorus]
You could never be broken
In the morning light
But as you leave, I start to see

[Chorus]
I see what it's cost you
I miss the impostor
Pretender, pretender
I start to think that I've lost you
I'm ashamed that I thought I could define you
Simplify and confine you

[Bridge]
I know, I know, darling
I know it's a shame
We're all afraid
Of what we do not know

[Outro]
Scattered debris
And you were spinning uncensored
An elegance I remember
Don't you keep it on the inside
Unfazed, unafraid
You've been here before
