Pretense - North Atlantic Drift

Oh, it's time to let it go The world's got a funny way of turning round on you When a friend tries to stab you right in the face Losing faith in everything I thought, I hoped and knew Don't sweat it Set a false pretense Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change Ca-ca-ca-ca-'cause you know In sacrifice False pretense, you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense, you'll hurt again All along you know you thought you got the best of me You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face I cannot believe you claimed you were my family Don't sweat it Set a false pretense Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change Ca-ca-ca-ca-'cause you know In sacrifice False pretense, you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense, you'll hurt again (guitar) Oh, it's time to let it go I can't seem to understand it How you turned out to be so cold You tried but were caught red-handed Are you happy with your role? It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke In sacrifice False pretense, you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense, you'll hurt again So play the game until you run out And play the game into my head

Sing along with the shadows Sing a song to bring about the end Of your resistance To the simple fact that you're dead What did you have to believe in? What can you say that hasn't already been said What makes you any different than me Other that the bullet inside of your head? All your life was hit or miss Living under the false pretense That you were so special That you were someone You are no one, just like me Now you know what's after this Beyond your grave, another false pretense That you go to hell, or you go to heaven You're going nowhere, just like me Sing alone with insanity A rousing chorus of your defeat Your actions unrealistic Transform into another statistic Did you think that it would change anything This piece of metal inside of your brain? Did you really think you had to die To learn that things are The same on the other side? All your life was hit or miss Living under the false pretense That you were so special That you were someone You are no one, just like me Now you know what's after this Beyond your grave another false pretense That you go to hell, or you go to heaven You're going nowhere, just like me
