Lets just pretend
Just for a minute things were panning out exactly as we planned
(Exactly as we planned)
We'll try to keep ourselves from falling off the map
Anticipation takes us as we
Hold our breath, 'cause its all going on to now
(Sit tight, 'cause this motherfucker's going down)
To a place where they keep the forgotten
(Lost souls sink to the bottom)
Sit tight (Sit tight!) as we burn it to the ground
'Cause everywhere antagonists will fall apart
The sound of your incandescent voice
Telling me softly that we're falling to our knees
Well I don't see this going anywhere
(Give it up, Give it up, 'cause you're too late)
Time is running out, but don't despair
(Say your goodbyes now, 'cause you're slipping away)
I won't deny who can take it or leave it
Hope you're listening, you better believe this now
You might see me crack a smile
When it all goes up in smoke
(Interlude)
Let's just pretend
That since we started building up these walls so high
We don't see what's going on before our eyes
Please avert your eyes, 'cause we no longer recognize you
A case of out with the old, and in with the new 'cause
If you seek the grass, its a dead end street
(Throw it in, 'cause its crumbling beneath your feet)
And don't bother holding out
But listen up (Listen up!) I've got something to say now
(We now the reasons why you threw this away now)
Remember once, you aspired to be
Something more than the face of a dying breed.
Well I don't see this going anywhere
(Give it up, Give it up, 'cause you're too late)
Time is running out, but don't despair
(Say your goodbyes now, 'cause you're slipping away)
I won't deny it, who can take it or leave it
Hope you're listening, you better believe this now
You might see me crack a smile
When it all goes up in smoke
Left behind, like our remnants in the tide
Cast aside, for a while
'Cause we're so lost we're falling to our knees
(Interlude)
And I don't see this going anywhere
(Give it up, Give it up, 'cause you're too late)
Time is running out, but don't despair
(Say your goodbyes now, 'cause you're slipping away)
I won't deny who can take it or leave it
Hope you're listening, you better believe this now
You might see me crack a smile
When it all goes up in smoke
