Playing Pretend lyrics by Dance Myth

We all woke up one day. A light, turned on. Into our existence. Into sound and cold and confusion. Just like everyone else who has ever done this. Even the ones of us who have touched the sky. Shoved right into a
Costume that will never fit. And every day is halloween, clashing against our
Intuition
We all woke up one day. Every. Single. One of us. Looking out of our miracle. Bolted to reality. A metaphor for a mystery. Loved by the wonders that made us. In their own ways, that they learned how. That got hammered into them, by wolves, just trying to make it
Playing pretend
We all wake up one day. Blanketed in fear. Collared with reality. Get given a dog in the fight by the wolves that raised us. They said: Our imaginary friend, it’s better than everyone else’s imaginary friend. Dug those walls right into us against our better sense. Tied our balloon to a closed down mind, and family and worth
We all wake up one day. With everything we need already inside of us. And still take someone else’s word for it. Willing to hold that as truth. Instead of listening to our own. And point that thing into our inevitable. Writing the answers on our sails so we don’t forget again
We are all playing pretend
We will all wake up one day. Just like everybody else does. Just like god did. You can see her everywhere, in every thing. I don’t use words when I pray, that’s a waste of the answer. I keep my hands and everything, open. That’s where the answer is, in the open. In the wild, dull sparkle. The space between heaven and hell is the distance between faith and doubt, in ourselves
We will all wake up one day. Into our existence. Powerful miracles wrapped in skin. Pushed down by drink, and age, and the learning that we can’t. Shamed smooth by our mistakes. Forgetting our accents, and the roads we learned on. But we are who we pretend to be. So don’t just do
Something. Sit there, and think it through
You could die at any time. But then again you could live at any time too
