Pretending Lyrics

I try to be what you need

Not just some actor rehearsing their lines

I try to feel but it's empty

And it's getting worse all the time

And I'm not so good at pretending

There's not a crack in the hull

Save yourself first, let me go

I hear you Mr. Hartley

All the way from the depths below

The rhythm of the waves, it commands me to play

Any choice is forsaken, now that they're washing you away

Now that they're washing you away

I try to be what you need

Not just some actor rehearsing their lines

I try to feel but I'm empty

And it's getting worse all the time

But I'm getting good at pretending

There's no such thing as this hell

I faintly remember the smell

But I can't hear anything hardly at all

From down in the depths below

From down in the depths below

From down in the depths below
