Pretend Songtext
von Night Windows

Tomorrow, a dream
I′ve yet to sleep through
Tomorrow, a play
A fake, a faux transcendence

Everyone I know
And everyone I've been
Spends most of their time pretending

Staring at a light blue smear on a black wall
An error begging to be fixed
A long hair left that the scissors missed
A crossed out task, a shopping list

Everyone I know
And everyone I′ve been
Spends most of their time pretending


Every bit of energy
You spent on sitting up straight
Has now vanished
Washed up and wasted

Everyone I know
And everyone I've been
Spends most of their time pretending

Lean on the fragments of decay
Watch the ideas dry up and leave no trace
Haven't heard her voice in weeks
He hides his handsome face for fear of feeling cheap

Now, a friend you′ll meet
Closer, soon you′ll feel
Comfortable and wake up
To face the truth in you and that will be enough

For everyone you know
And everyone you've been
Who spends most of their time pretending
They spend most their time pretending
