Pretense Against Our Reception Songtext

You made me

Save face or save yourself

Tonight I recognize myself

Once left with words of hope, content in holding on to letting go



And with this

Our lesson will be over

Taught well to fight what can't be ours

In seeming like we're questioning

This ending gives thought to who we really are


Open eyes

Closed mind to envoke failure

You can dream awake but it's not the same

Once let these words bleed through for lending me this thought

I am weighing it down onto you



Sleep not to be awake

Breathe only because you have to

Define your strength and reenforce the doubts you thought you'd once lose

Just finish what you've started

Tonight the world will let me down and understand we are forever



Can you hear me?

Can you feel the way that distance works?

I don't need to be awake

I don't need to be awake

I never wanted this

I don't need to be awake

I never wanted it to be this way



Kill the scene

Last words lead to forgiving

Make sense of what can't be retold

Thank you for everything you left me with when recepetion was bought and sold



This is ours not to reason why

We bleed together to feel alive

Do you feel alive?



Can you hear me?

Can you feel the way that distance works?

I don't need to be awake

I don't need to be awake

I never wanted this

I don't need to be awake

I never wanted it to be this way



Sleep not to be awake

Breathe only because you have to

We were the first and last to leave before we came



Sleep not to be awake

Breathe only because you have to

You don't have to...



This is the best I've ever had

I died a thousand times

All wishing my intentions could survive

Start this again

This is the end of everything

You won't

Leave out

This jealousy is envy



Don't let this scare you

You are so contagious
