Lyrics

Pretentious

[Verse 1]

You pretend that you pretend

You don't know that you know that you don't know that

You pretend that you pretend

You try hard to fake faking your smile

Hiding your hiding place in your own home

You will lie that you lie about lying

You pretend that you pretend

[Verse 2]

You profess that you avow

You were hoping that your faith is a way to hope

You amend what you amend

You act like you're acting to yourself

Thriving on hiding all your precious thoughts

You pretend that you pretend

You pretend that you pretend
