Pretend

I keep moving forward
Without knowing where I've been
Recognizing 
Drawing a blank 
Then I'm back again 

[Verse 1]
Just the other day
I was lost in conversation
Amongst myself
From everything including castration
All the things I wish I would've said to dictation
I would've recognized the words
To paper as they were written
For the sake of my mind 

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep moving forward
Without knowing where I've been
Recognizing 
Drawing a blank 
Then I'm back again 

[Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
So I can pretend 
So I can pretend

[Verse 2]
Across the cosmos
I'm holding all the cards
Riding rockets and spaceships to Mars
Across the night skies, streaking like
Shooting stars
Dipping down into the milky way
I met the man on the moon and I might just stay
For the sake of my mind


[Pre-Chorus]
I keep moving forward
Without knowing where I've been
Recognizing 
Drawing a blank 
Then I'm back again 

[Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
So I can pretend 
So I can pretend

[Bridge]
If I said it out loud
Would the world judge me
Let them in the circus
Of my little insanity
No, I keep my thoughts
Buried down deep
Never let them notice
Never let them see 

[Final Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
So I can pretend 
So I can pretend

Oooohh 
We can pretend
Oooohh 
I am hanging in
Oooohh
(Lie to me)
Say it to me again
Oooohh
(Lie to me)
So I can pretend
