Come, Let's Pretend

Another song of longing in a world where, for most of us, happiness is a mystery...

Come, let's pretend we're lovers of purity and light
We'll have our moment in the sun, and maybe just a night
I'll live my truth, you live your lie, and no one needs to know
Why one of us has to fly where the other cannot go

It was never about the power, it was never about the pain
And reason had no standing in my hope that you'd remain
Stay far away from destiny, she'll hang you out to dry
Id'e give you all the best of me, but cannot figure why?

There never was a remedy for what stirs within your soul
It tears you from your very self before it makes you whole
You took me for a doctor, I took you for the cure
Our hope for full recovery is somewhat premature

I move along, you move along, that's what people do
And never draw attention to what we just came through
Was is simple kindness or were we just insane
Or voluntery blindness that won't look beyond the pain

Now I only seek you out in roumors and in lies
I dabble in your mystery, I worship your disguise
I'm lost among the shadows of what could never be
Let's blame it on the darkness that only you can see
