Pretense - Knuckle Puck
I'll take it inward so no one sees
While you find slumber on tops of trees
And after all of this I still find it hard to breathe
I taught myself things you never did
You need a spine like I need new skin
But neither will ever happen
How dare you guilt me for not sticking around
As if you ever did for me
I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
You left me with a choice and a pretense
I will not follow in your footsteps
I'll find a face to call my own
Because the mask you wear is all ive ever known
Consider this a repercussion
Of the actions which you were
Never properly punished for due to
An overbearing demeanor brought
On by your own self awareness your credibility
Is a half empty glass of salt water
That I watched you spill over and over
And over again go ahead make me the bad guy
How dare you guilt me for not sticking around
As if you ever did for me
I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
You left me with a choice and a pretense
So ill take what strength I have left
If you could call it that
And ill give you time to reflect
Then you can call me back
Then you can call me back
How dare you guilt me for not sticking around
As if you ever did for me
I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
You left me with a choice and a pretense
You left me with a choice and a pretense
You left me with a choice and a pretense
