Knuckle Puck - Pretense

Текст песни

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 I’ve 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 I’ll take what strength I have left, if you could call it that (If you could
call it that)
And I’ll 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
