An End to Pretending

by Momentary Relapse   Sep 14, 2008


I close my eyes and inside I'm blinded
I feel the end coming closer
And I'm pretending it won't hurt
(This time it isn't going to hurt)

I can pretend while standing on the edges of society
I'm on the outside
Looking in
I'm on the outside
Looking in
Looking in while standing on the edge
But I don't fit in

I can't be that person
I can't be that person
I can't be the one to pretend
I can't be the one to care
I can't pretend to care when I don't (I don't)

I close my eyes and inside I'm blinded
I feel the end coming near
And I'm pretending this is it
(This time it isn't going to hurt)

I can pretend while standing on the edges of society
I'm on the outside
Looking in
I'm on the outside
Looking in
But I don't fit in

I close my eyes and inside
I'm blind
Blinded by the fear
Blinded by the hate
Blinded by the pain
(This is the end)

I feel the end approaching
It's leaving me helpless
I can't pretend when I can't be
I can't pretend when this isn't me

I can pretend
This is the end
And all I do
Is close my eyes
It's safer that way
I can pretend
And all I do
Is close my eyes
To pretend

This is the end
This is the end
This is
The end
