In the pretend world We all are very awake In the pretend world We all look sterile and fake In this atmosphere We all could chatter for days In the pretend world We never admit our mistakes But in the real world Were hiding alone and ashamed And we cant live while Because were addicted to pain You see I cannot feel this No matter how you try In the real world We cant deny In the pretend world We gaze into empty eyes We have to amuse ourselves With adultery tales and white lines But in the real world Where fools tormented for sport We stitch up our mouths So we cant admit or retort You see I cannot say this Please don't ask me why In the real world We cant deny You see I cannot feel this No matter how you try In the real world We cant deny You see I cannot say this Please don't ask me why In the real world We cant deny In my pretend world We all are very awake In this atmosphere We all look starstruck and vague You see I never loved you No matter how you tried In the real world There's no goodbye
