Pretense -

We’ve had so many chances

But we watched them all just drift away

And lately it’s been hard to manage

Having had the rug pulled from under me

I would rather stay asleep

Inside this dream

Ignore reality

Cause the truth it isn’t comforting

No nothing’s what it seems

And it’s a crushing feeling

One that I can’t seem to shake

And I’ll just keep on dreaming

Cause I feel less alive when I’m awake

Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey

And when we pulled back the cover

And we all saw what was at stake

We looked around at each other

Cause we all knew what had taken place

I would rather stay asleep

Inside this dream

Ignore reality

Cause the truth it isn’t comforting

No nothing’s what it seems

And it’s a crushing feeling

One that I can’t seem to shake

And I’ll just keep on dreaming

Cause I feel less alive when I’m awake

I tell myself

I never wanted something else

I tell myself

It’s so hard to believe

It’s so hard to believe

I would rather stay asleep

Inside this dream

Ignore reality

Cause the truth it isn’t comforting

And it’s a crushing feeling

One that I can’t seem to shake

And I’ll just keep on dreaming

Cause I feel less alive when I’m awake

Hey, hey

When I’m awake

Hey, hey

I tell myself

I never wanted something else

I tell myself

It’s so hard to believe
