Say it’d never happen to me
Never give a fuck if we’re hollow
Artificial pleasure and peace
Numb away the pain and the sorrow
No one cares to see we’re sickening
Can’t face the pain, can’t make amends
So we just all pretend
All pretend
Yeah we just all pretend
All pretend
Racing to escape
Facing nothing so we all pretend
All pretend
Try to keep the trauma discrete
Fantasize a dream for tomorrow
Watch a child starve as you feed
Whored away the soul that we borrowed
No one cares to see we’re sickening
Can’t face the pain, can’t make amends
Point the blame to anyone
Repeating this again and again
Look away from the damage done
This is how it always begins
