In the Pretend World Lyrics by Scarling

So Long, Scarecrow

2005

[Verse 1]
In the pretend world
We all are very awake
In the pretend world
We all look sterile and fake
[Verse 2]
In this atmosphere
We all could chatter for days
In the pretend world
We never admit our mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the real world
We're hiding alone and ashamed
And we can't live well
Because we're addicted to pain
[Chorus]
You see, I cannot feel this
No matter how you try
In the real world
We can't deny
[Verse 3]
In the pretend world
We gaze into empty eyes
We amuse ourselves
With tawdry tales and white lies
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the real world
We're fools tormented for sport
We stitch up our mouths
So we can't admit or retort
[Chorus]
You see, I cannot say this
Please don't ask me why
In the real world
We can't deny
[Bridge]
[?]
[Chorus]
You see, I cannot feel this
No matter how you try
In the real world
We can't deny
You see, I cannot say this
Please don't ask me why
In the real world
We can't deny
[Verse 4]
In my pretend world
We all are very awake
In this atmosphere
We all look starstruck and vague
[Outro]
You see, I never loved you
No matter how you tried
In the real world
There's no goodbye
