Pretense
We've had so many chances
But we watched them all just drift away
And lately it's been hard to manage
Having had the rug pulled from under me
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
No nothing's what it seems
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
And when we pulled back the cover
And we all saw what was at stake
We looked around at each other
Cause we all knew what had taken place
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
No nothing's what it seems
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
I tell myself
I never wanted something else
I tell myself
It's so hard to believe
It's so hard to believe
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
Hey, hey
When I'm awake
Hey, hey
I tell myself
I never wanted something else
I tell myself
It's so hard to believe
But we watched them all just drift away
And lately it's been hard to manage
Having had the rug pulled from under me
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
No nothing's what it seems
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey
And when we pulled back the cover
And we all saw what was at stake
We looked around at each other
Cause we all knew what had taken place
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
No nothing's what it seems
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
I tell myself
I never wanted something else
I tell myself
It's so hard to believe
It's so hard to believe
I would rather stay asleep
Inside this dream
Ignore reality
Cause the truth it isn't comforting
And it's a crushing feeling
One that I can't seem to shake
And I'll just keep on dreaming
Cause I feel less alive when I'm awake
Hey, hey
When I'm awake
Hey, hey
I tell myself
I never wanted something else
I tell myself
It's so hard to believe
