Pretend

"Come on in," she said, "We've got a chair for you."
Pushed me in too close, said, "This is what we'll do.
You've been out too long, making it hard.
We need to let you know what you'll believe was always ours."

"I know what you believe, I know whats' in your head.
Deeper than the one that sleeps in your own bed.
I know what awaits you, if you don't follow through.
Someone will come and punish you."

"Come down softly or, just go
Down, down just a small stone's throw
It's so close to you, and you don't even know
I promise you there's hell to pay below."

"'Cause everyone's better than you
At knowing the truth
And we know what's best for you,
Don't fight, don't fight
Give us your mind
Give us your soul
Everyone's there for you
Just say you believe it too"

"I see you're straightened out,
I think I've fixed your head.
Now you see the truth as we have
Laid it out instead
There's just one thing, I beg for you to see
You did it 'cause you love a worried me"

"There's no room for doubt in this world where we live
Believe just what I say to you,
I tell you it's a gift.
Pay no mind to all you see,
Just turn on your blind eye
'Cause you might be the lucky next to die."

"'Cause everyone's better than you
At knowing the truth
And we know what's best for you,
Don't fight, don't fight
Give us your mind
Give us your soul
Everyone's there for you
Just say you believe it"

"I don't care if you feel nothing in
What I say
Practice makes perfect
You'll see the light one day
I don't care if you feel nothing
In everything I say
Practice makes perfect
You'll see the light one day

"'Cause everyone's better than you
At knowing the truth
And we know what's best for you,
Don't fight, don't fight
Give us your mind
Give us your soul
Everyone's here for you
Just pretend you believe it too"
