How to Pretend Songtext
von CircusP

Breathe in, breathe now
You have to calm down
Let me show you somewhere we could hide
We can stay in here until sunrise-rise

Moving forward
St-step by step, once more
Follow my instructions, you′ll be fine
This will only hurt for a short time

With promises of freedom
I would never lie to you
Only speaking the way you do too
How great that it must be
To walk outside and see
Others just like you and not m-me

"I am not like you"
"I can't do all that you do"
"No matter how desperately I want to"


When you look into my eyes you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I′m not your enemy
No more anxiety
Though you're right to be wary
'Cause, I know how to pretend
(How to pretend)

Breathe in, breathe o-o-o-out
I′m lost in here now
And of course I know tha-at-at
There′s no way, there's no way, I can turn back

I′m left in the dark
To play my part
Follow every lie you feed me
As they lead to more and more agony

Are we on the same team after all this time?
Are we really feeling a pain of the same kind?
Watching from the outside
You can't see all the things I do
You′re a circus monster
And now's your cue

"You were right"
"When you said-said, that we′re not the same"
"Because, unlike you"
"I-I can feel pain"


When I look into your eyes I see
A facade, you are not trustworthy
You are my enemy
Faking your empathy
I was right to be wary
When you know how to pretend
(How to pretend)

When you look into my eyes you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I'm not your enemy
No more anxiety
Though you're right to be wary, ′cause, I know
(You′re not good at pretending)

Come dance, and we'll be prismatic
I′m not falling for all your tricks
Let's put on a show
Before the curtain falls

I won′t take a bow
It's time our finale′s now
This mangled freak-show
Is where we end it all (Is where we start it all)
