I pretend to walk I pretend to breathe I know you understand You always did
You prefer to talk (And) I pretend to listen Three and counting I'm still waiting
I just want to fly The morning sun is shattered The smile is gone Frozen liquid carving stone
It's time to close our eyes As we pretend to care I keep still Accrete the silence you don’t fill
I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind We spend a little time Exchanging words and maybe What you'd call emotion
But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind I never meant to hurt Still I'm spinning like a Roundabout in motion (Deceptive detachment ... from this world)
An echo from afar The signal is too weak I know you understand You always did
You pretend to bide So I pretend to smile Three and counting I'm still waiting
I just want to fly The medium is shaking Your voice is low Melting shadows burning snow
It's time to close our eyes Forget what we were told I keep still Embrace the silence you don't fill
I'm so glad that you can't read my mind We spend a little time Exchanging words and maybe What you'd call emotion
But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind I never meant to hurt Still I'm spinning like a Roundabout in motion (Deceptive detachment ... from this world)
The more you want to feel free The deeper your roots need to be
