Make-Believe

Can I be honest? It's been a lonely week

Will you come over? I'd die for company

Fear no attachment but I feel restless, can you put me at ease?

I'm well aware we're not a thing, but don't decline the offering

I should know better, we've been through this before

The drunken laughter, clothes on the bed and floor

I seek no attachment but feel like helping, I'm pretty sure she knows

So I pack up and leave and let the Spirit grieve

If it ain't love then why we make believe

None of us will end up suffering?

Searching for it underneath the sheets

Knowing that it suffocates the dream

Is this what we need?

We take a breather, one head upon your head

Discolored features, two hearts beating fast

And I feel so alone and take a guess you feel it too

We feel like letting go and then I pull you close

If it ain't love then why we make believe

None of us will end up suffering?

Searching for it underneath the sheets

Knowing that it suffocates the dream

Of ever finding what's the greatest of all

We chase down the wrong thing so carelessly

If it ain't love then why we make believe

This is what we need?

And forever be this incomplete

Caught in this make believe (caught in this make believe)

We long for lust to be "the greatest of these"

Downwards spiraling (we're downward spiraling)

This discontentment shows, we need a rescuing

If it ain't love then why we make believe

None of us will end up suffering?

Searching for it underneath the sheets

Knowing that it suffocates the dream

Of ever finding what's the greatest of all

We chase down the wrong thing so carelessly

If it ain't love then why we make believe

This is what we need?

And forever be this incomplete
