Let's Pretend
Lyrics
Let's Pretend, rev
© 2013 Sahlen-Starburst

Let's pretend reality is not a way of life
Screaming through the ebbs and flows imagined in the night
Gravitating promises, mitigating smiles
Let's pretend insanity lingers just a while

Let's pretend the undertow of life is but a dream
Lurking in the shadows far outside mainstream
Crossing moats of safety nets castles of the mind
Let's pretend the universe is all we've left behind

Can you hear the plaintive groans as they testify
Can you smell the sweet salt air just before you die?

Can you hear the plaintive groans as they testify
Can you smell the sweet salt air just before you die?

Let's pretend the sun shines bright where monsters dare to go
Lighting special secrets buried down below
Illuminating our true selves when we've gone too far
Let's pretend we're not defined by who we really are

Let's pretend we're not defined by who we really are

We all live in our own little bubble and sometimes don't realize the truth about ourselves.
