Say it'd never happen to me 00:14
Never give a fuck if we're hollow 00:17
Artificial pleasure and peace 00:21
Numb away the pain and the sorrow 00:24
No one cares to see we're sickening 00:27
Can't face the pain, can't make amends 00:34
So we just all pretend 00:39
All pretend 00:44
Yeah we just all pretend 00:46
All pretend 00:50
Racing to escape 00:53
Facing nothing so we all pretend 00:57
All pretend 01:05
Try to keep the trauma discreet 01:07
Fantasize a life for tomorrow 01:12
Watch a child starve as you feed 01:15
Whored away the soul that we borrowed 01:18
No one cares to see we're sickening 01:21
Can't face the pain, can't make amends 01:27

All pretend 01:37
Yeah we just all pretend 01:39
All pretend 01:44
Racing to escape 01:47
Facing nothing so we all pretend 01:51
All pretend 01:58
Point the blame to anyone 02:12
Repeating this again and again 02:15
Look away from the damage done 02:18
Cause this is how it always begins 02:22
So we just all pretend 02:23
All pretend 02:28
Yeah we just all pretend 02:30
All pretend 02:34
Racing to escape 02:37
Facing nothing so we all pretend 02:41

[English]
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 discreet
Fantasize a life 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
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
Point the blame to anyone
Repeating this again and again
Look away from the damage done
Cause this is how it always begins
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
