lyrics

Pretender

We’ve been fighting blind
We’re caving the walls again
Each facet corroding on the edge of another dream
(another dream)
We’re creating truth from fictions of the mind
Aggression coming full circle and were left to wonder why

What I would give for another day
Only to find that nothings the same
(that nothings the same)
I’ll still be waiting for someone to tell me
The reality that something is missing
(tell me that something is missing)

It feels (it feels) like someone is standing on my chest
This is no day for a hero
Understand that we deserve this
Searching for patterns for meaning that this is real
(that this is real)
Familiarity our pretender
Its in too deep
(its in too deep)

What I would give for another day
Only to find that nothings the same
(that nothings the same)
I’ll still be waiting for someone to tell me
The reality that something is missing
(tell me that something is missing)

How can I take this seriously?
Every time I have to start this over
I have tried to understand why
So tell me that something is missing
Oh what I would give to make reason what it used to be

What I would give (what I would give) for another day (another day)
Only to find that nothings the same
(that nothings the same)
I’ll still be waiting (waiting) for someone to tell me (tell me)
The reality that something is missing
(tell me that something is missing)

How can I take this seriously?
Every time I have to start this over
I have tried to understand why
So tell me that something is missing
