A Pretending World

I could be so peaceful now in my happy place

Like my childhood house

But the earth keeps turning and it's telling me

That all must change until infinity

I believe that I'm a clever girl in a clever world

But is it not absurd

That with every breath we're drifting further

And further away from reality

A pretending world

We love to call it truth

But it frightens me so bad

I don't know what I've learned

Cause it's so hard to sing along

In all of this mess

If you'd only be so kind and leave me alone for a while

Then you would see

That I never missed the signs you sent to me

We're all so weary of this century

A pretending world

We love to call it truth

But it frightens me so bad

I don't know what I've learned

Cause it's so hard to sing along

In all of this mess

This generation

Our generation

I know why I find it hard to sleep

Here are millions of minds to please

And I'm aware that I'm way too prone

Much too soft to let them in

My head wants to know everything

My heart it keeps on shouting

To not give up and let them win, resolve to keep on fighting

A pretending world

We love to call it truth

But it frightens me so bad
