I Can't Pretend
A fading glimpse of life
For all that came before you
I refuse to wonder why
We live our lives from day to day
The misery and joy and pain
I'm sure there is a reason
I've been lost inside the why
Blind faith still eludes me when I try
Why are we here
What do you want from me?
I didn't ask to be here
Now I'm lost in time
See I've looked hard inside
And I've tried to ride the tide
A vison that still haunts me ...sometimes
Now I'm locked far away
Until the images fade
And I know that you're not here to play
I can't pretend, that this not the end
And we're losing the things that made us real
I can't pretend, that you were not my friend
And we're confusing the things that made us feel
I can't pretend
We live our lives from day to day
Sometimes the fear gets in the way
Brainwashed with religion
And don't you question why
Scared into submission by the lies
I can't pretend
For all that came before you
I refuse to wonder why
We live our lives from day to day
The misery and joy and pain
I'm sure there is a reason
I've been lost inside the why
Blind faith still eludes me when I try
Why are we here
What do you want from me?
I didn't ask to be here
Now I'm lost in time
See I've looked hard inside
And I've tried to ride the tide
A vison that still haunts me ...sometimes
Now I'm locked far away
Until the images fade
And I know that you're not here to play
I can't pretend, that this not the end
And we're losing the things that made us real
I can't pretend, that you were not my friend
And we're confusing the things that made us feel
I can't pretend
We live our lives from day to day
Sometimes the fear gets in the way
Brainwashed with religion
And don't you question why
Scared into submission by the lies
I can't pretend
