Pretender Songtext
von Saviourself

Soothing my conscience with promises I cannot keep
A cycle I′m entangled in way too deep
Cause I'm a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows
Weaving illusions
Building a polished facade
Masquerading to hide traits that are flawed
Cause I′m a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows

I set out to do things and never follow through
Procrastinate to the point where it falls out of view
I lack vision, don't have a sense for future intent
Devil-may-care attitude, I crave the moment


Ho!

Soothing my conscience with promises I cannot keep
A cycle I'm entangled in way too deep
Cause I′m a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows
Weaving illusions
Building a polished facade
Masquerading to hide traits that are flawed
Cause I′m a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows

This path is leading nowhere
Ironically I am fully aware
The weight of the truth will soon collapse me
I'm lost in a story that holds no degree


It′s only a matter of time this rickety scaffold
Will come crashing down
All around me
But until then
I keep pretending

Soothing my conscience with promises I cannot keep
A cycle I'm entangled in way too deep
Cause I′m a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows
Weaving illusions
Building a polished facade
Masquerading to hide traits that are flawed
Cause I'm a
Liar
A stranger in disguise
Liar
And everybody knows

Everybody knows
But I keep pretending
