We built a dollhouse out of old straw and matchsticks

And painted our faces with smiles

We fashioned everyday items out of cheap old plastic

I'd hoped it'd last us a while

And so we sat back in the Cali heat till the makeup melted away

You turned to me, looked bleak, the expression revealed on your face

And so I offered another coat and you insisted you throw it away

I asked what's gotten into you and you said our existence was fake

Die

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

I tried to avoid all your talk before it sent me through madness

And painted my face with a smile

I fell apart when your words connected like magnets

I'd lived in stasis a while

The illusive nature of love is sadistic

It feeds on hope and despair

It kept me in a box with decorated walls and simulated air

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Ooh but I like living in pretend

Die
