Lyrics
Play Pretend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our lives, like flowing water, forever thrown into stages of change
The river must duel the rapids before it can rest in the lake
Perceptions are conflicted, we waste time fretting what could be
The first step to understanding madness
Identify the cures we seek
We’re sinking into nothing, but we can feel it all the way down
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground
We bite our tongues in the face of God
Turn nothing into something
We’re not dead yet
We play pretend
Look around and see the glory
Feel the breeze caress your skin
We have to come to terms with ourselves
Real knowledge blooms from within
Our strength is found in weakness
Push away the thoughts of disgrace
Let’s all refuse restriction
Find courage!
We’re sinking into nothing, but we can feel it all the way down
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground
We bite our tongues in the face of God
Turn nothing into something
We’re not dead yet
We play pretend
I’m too far gone for you to bring me back
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground
We bite our tongues in the face of God
Turn nothing into something
We’re not dead yet
We play pretend
