The world runs on pretending.
We choose to bend the rules
making us fools
of ourselves.
We shelve what we know is real
only to feel what we want shown.
but
We've known our delusions
having one conclusion. It's just easier
when we feel we are just
fine in our minds as we go on pretending,
and bending the rules as we go.
Making us fools as we grow.
Slowly losing our feeling
We're stealing a new life
one without strife
but instead
from our bed, designing themes
for our dreams that make us smile,
but
Our trial is soon to come
and now we can't play dumb.
It's just easier
when we feel we are
fine in our minds as we go on pretending
and now bending the rules as we go.
Making us fools as we grow.
---------------------------------------------
I should have just said I'm sorry
for all the times I didn't
say lets talk about it
but instead
from my bed, I dreamt that our bond
would soon be so incredibly strong
I should have just said I'm sorry
for all the times I didn't
say lets talk about it
but instead
from my bed, I dreamt that our bond
would soon be so incredibly strong
but
how wrong it was for me
to dream but not to see
its not easier
when I feel I am
fine in my mind. As I go on pretending,
and bending the rules as I go,
Making me a fool who doesn't know.
