Just Pretend 03:16
Told my life story but left out the good parts I've always known my purpose from the start Cigarettes and burns on my arm Go out of my way to cause self harm Why do we do bad things Stuck inside our bad dreams I never plan to let go Already hear your echo No time to ask why I won't be the one to give in This life and this time I wonder when it comes to an end I will fight I will try Don't wanna be born again so Let's make believe and just pretend Just pretend Just pretend Just pretend Told you everything that's left in my heart Provin every day we try hard I won't back down for nothin' Livin' life and playing my cards Why do we do bad things Stuck inside our bad dreams I never plan to let go Already hear your echo No time to ask why I won't be the one to give in This life and this time I wonder when it comes to an end I will fight I will try Don't wanna be born again so Let's make believe and just pretend Just pretend Just pretend Just pretend No time to ask why I won't be the one to give in This life and this time I wonder when it comes to an end I will fight I will try Don't wanna be born again so Let's make believe and just pretend Just pretend Just pretend Just pretend

When I'm in my bed at night it's true that life's so lonely Even when you're next to me I look back life's so lonely When I'm stuck inside my head I get lost in the words you said They'll say I'm better off dead I know that life's so lonely I'll live my life I won't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse I'll live my life I can't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse (Joe Queer) When I'm on the roam at night it's true that life's so lonely Even when I'm in the crowd I look back life's so lonely Isolated in my mind It's not a waste of time All in all I love my life but I know that life's so lonely I'll live my life I won't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse I'll live my life I can't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse These days go faster we hold onto the disaster But I can take it if you can I see the world and how we grow It gives me hope The stars will guide you when you're all alone I'll live my life I won't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse I'll live my life I can't listen to a word I'm feeling fine tonight sometimes you make it worse

What is that you want I'm so high on this Saturday And I just wanna get laid by my girlfriend today and I need you I'm so lost without you You got me acting like a fool cause I don't know what to do and What is it that you need why do you think you can get it from me And you're a fucking fiend you're barkin up the wrong fucking tree and I need you I'm so lost without you Got me acting like a fool cause I don't know what to do I need you, I'm so lost without you You got me acting like a fool cause I don't know what to do and I need you, so lost without you You got me acting like a fool cause I don't know what to do

The universe has been around for a long time The more I think about it the less that I care It seems every time that I open my mind I see a sign so I'm not scared Why do we complicate the things that are so apparent See something everyday reminds me that my life's worth sparing Nothing is something in darkness I see nothing Won't you be nothing with me I think about it every time I see the pattern in a flower Reminds of every night that I was on the edge of the tower I just can't tell you my purpose Cause I'm not sure what it is Why do we complicate the things that are so apparent See something everyday reminds me that my life's worth sparing Nothing is something in darkness I see nothing Won't you be nothing with me Nothing is something In darkness I see nothing

Kreature 01:38
They made me and put me in lagoon They everyone would be nice and safe But I'm a terror to this whole fucking town When your children swim they're never found You can call me the creature Creature from the black lagoon You can swim in my lake If you wanna meet your doom You made me and put me in lagoon You everyone would be nice and safe But I'm a terror to this whole fucking town When your children swim they're never found You can call me the creature Creature from the black lagoon You can swim in my lake If you wanna meet your doom You can call me the creature Creature from the black lagoon You can swim in my lake If you wanna meet your doom You can call me the creature

Do you feel like you're not alone Do you feel like someone's watching you at home I think they bugged our phones Oh shit I think I just saw a drone I won't trust the FBI the CIA is full of lies I think I'd rather die than say I don't have rights I'll hide while they spy, turn around and turn out the lights I don't know to else to say, all our governments are really lame Don't trust your government they'll sell you for some rent To pay off their stupid debts they're really not our friends I wanna punch a cop in the face the police forces are a disgrace Black lives yeah they fucking matter that's why we protest that's why we'll always gather Do you feel like you're not alone Do you feel like someone's watching you at home I think they bugged our phones, throw it in the lake and watch it float Don't trust your government they'll sell you for some rent (Don't trust your government) To pay off their stupid debts they're really not our friends (Don't trust your government) Don't trust your government they'll sell you for some rent (Don't trust your government) To pay off their stupid debts they're really not our friends (Don't trust your government) Don't trust your government (Don't trust) Don't trust your government (Your government) Don't trust your government (Don't trust) Don't trust your government (Your government) Don't trust your government (Don't trust) Don't trust your government (Your government) Don't trust your government (Don't trust) Don't trust your government (Your government)

I have faith and I believe that we will not be deceived You're lost in your memories when we exist eternally Come too far to turn away we're waiting for judgement day Time will come when we get our way we'll leave them with nothing left to say Can you hear the words that I'm sayin' Or have you just blocked me out Do you feel better now Cry cry little fire eyes Tears come out but instantly dry Your blood is frozen from your heart it seems Tell me why do we always try To get a little further from the lies You were cursed right from the start And you take the life out of me Just watch as I take a stand I will follow my own plans I won't ask I won't demand it doesn't matter if you understand Sweat blood tears while we're up all night Got a dream and it's in our sight Bomb's strapped tight ready to ignite From the very first day born to fight Can you hear the words that I'm sayin' Or have you just blocked me out Do you feel better now Cry cry little fire eyes Tears come out but instantly dry Your blood is frozen from your heart it seems Tell me why do we always try To get a little further from the lies You were cursed right from the start And you take the life out of me It's your fault you're the reason It's your fault you're the reason It's your fault you're the reason It's your fault you're the reason It's your fault not mine You gave it all away They took your soul and now Now you'll fade away

Not Enough 04:35
I left my name in blood on the bathroom stall I stayed on the streets at night and I heard the city call Done all the drugs, blasted graffiti on the wall Wouldn't trade it for a second chance at it all Bloodshot eyes not done yet Not enough not enough no I'm not done yet provin' it Not enough Not enough no I broke the street lights with a 45 felt so alive and I Haven't been reckless in a long time ain't been sober in a long time We took too many pills and watched our eyes go back and forth that night We found out that the bay kills we had to give up on that life Bloodshot eyes not done yet Not enough not enough no I'm not done yet provin' it Not enough Not enough no, no Bloodshot eyes not done yet Not enough not enough no I'm not done yet provin' it Not enough Not enough no

Mothman 04:04
I was out late the other night When I felt something fly by I looked up into the sky I was met by two red glowing eyes I felt a shiver go down my spine Never thought I'd have to fear for my life I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he's trying to tell me something I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he really could be my friend I awoke in the night to a phone call The man told me his name was Ingrid Cole A strange voice told me a prophecy Nine will die in 10 days can't you see Spoke of visions that you would not believe I feel like someone's watching me I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he's trying to tell me something I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he really could be my friend When that day finally came The Mothman's words held true Nine people died that day From a bridge collapse in West Virginia Beach I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he's trying to tell me something I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he really could be my friend I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he's trying to tell me something I had an encounter with the Mothman I think he really could be my friend

about

Take a step away from reality- allow yourself to flow freely from restriction as we take you on a journey through our lives and fantasies. "Just Pretend" is all about almost completely letting go, being comfortable with the unknown and to live life as an unexpected and unforgettable experience. If seeing is believing then remember you can never lose sight of your dreams.
