The Plot In You - Pretend Lyrics

Say it'd never happen to me
Never give a f*ck if we're hollow
Artificial pleasure and peace
Numb away the pain and the sorrow

No one cares to see we're sickening
Can't face the pain, can't make amends

So we just all pretend, all pretend
Yeah, we just all pretend, all pretend
Racing to escape, facing nothing
So we all pretend, all pretend

Try to keep the trauma discreet
Fantasize a life for tomorrow
Watch a child starve as you feed
Hoard away the soul that you borrowed

No one cares to see we're sickening
Can't face the pain, can't make amends

So we just all pretend, all pretend
Yeah, we just all pretend, all pretend
Racing to escape, facing nothing
So we all pretend, all pretend

Point the blame to anyone
Repeating this again and again
Look away from the damage done
'Cause this is how it always begins

So we just all pretend, all pretend
Yeah, we just all pretend, all pretend
Racing to escape, facing nothing
So we all pretend, all pretend
