Pretend Lyrics by Vesta Collide

New Obsession

2017

I was already dead
Rotten, apart on the inside
My problems made up mirrors to shelter me from the outside
How did I do this to myself?
A part of me is done!
How to stay sane in bad health?
The best of me is gone!

Let me go

Break me free!
The restraints are too much to fake it
Break me free!
This hold is too tight to break me free

I wanna feel alive, I scream inside
Just break me free and make me believe in everything
I'm hiding away from the world
Make me feel alive

My mind is dead!
You are the problem
The face of a voice that don't realize when I can hear them

You hide behind a mask, I'm unimpressed
Your innocence is scripted acting at it's best
Whoever needed something to keep them from dying?
Or just felt hopeless being alive without trying?
The theme of fighting ourselves
We'll learn to let it go
Let it go

I wanna feel alive, I scream inside
Just break me free and make me believe in everything
I'm hiding away from the world
Make me feel alive

Our dreams are on a timeline that's ending
Our dreams are on a timeline that's ending right now

Now, tell me what you're so afraid of
Come on, show me what you're made of

I wanna feel alive, I scream inside
Just break me free and make me believe in everything
I'm hiding away from the world
Our dreams are on a timeline that's ending right now
Break me free, let me breathe
Just break me free and make me believe in everything
I'm hiding away from the world
Make me feel alive

Break me free!
