Pretend Lyrics by Waking Things

Details

2016

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 a heart when I needed it
And if everyone else
Could believe I'm invincibly sure
Then I can prеtend
That I don't need
Words or ghosts anymore

Isn't it bettеr
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
