We Pretend

We pretend Living out our half-lives A solemn end Walking through the land mines The night awaits to celebrate in the cold dark hour Breaking down like an enzyme You're stuttering Your hands are shaking Your muscles ache Your lungs constricting So, this is dying My end has no timing So, this is dying My end has no Timing the answer is never the answer And while our friends are blown apart We celebrate a fake-tanned Bonaparte Is this the end or is this just the start? I can make amends if you are true to your heart Can you be true to your heart? There's no defending an answer when it leads to cancer Break away before you break me down Break away before you break me down Break away before you break me down Break away before you break me down Like and enzyme it won't be the first time
