Breathe in breathe now You have to calm down Let me show you somewhere we could hide We can stay in here until sunrise
Moving forward Step by step once more Follow my instructions you'll be fine This will only hurt for a short time
With promises of freedom I would never lie to you Only speaking the way you do too
How great that it must be To walk outside and see Others just like you and not like me
I am not like you I can't do the things that you do No matter how desperately I want to
When you look into my eyes you see A mirage of something trustworthy I'm not your enemy No more anxiety Though you're right to be wary 'Cause I know how to pretend
How to pretend
Breathe in breathe out I'm lost in here now And of course I know that There's no way I can turn back
I'm left in the dark To play my part Follow every lie you feed me As they lead to more and more agony
Are we on the same team after all this time? Are we really feeling a pain of the same kind? Watching from the outside You can't see all the things I do
You're a circus monster And now's your cue
You were right When you said that we're not the same Because unlike you I can feel pain
When I look into your eyes I see A facade you are not trustworthy You are my enemy Faking your empathy I was right to be wary When you know how to pretend
How to pretend
When you look into my eyes you see A mirage of something trustworthy I'm not your enemy No more anxiety Though you're right to be wary 'Cause I know you're not good at pretending
Come dance and we'll be prismatic I'm not falling for all your tricks Let's out on a show before the curtain falls
(Before the curtain falls) I won't take a bow It's time our finale's now This mangled freakshow is where we end it all (Is where we start it all)
