Play Pretend

If I could play-pretend
Like I’m perfectly stable
That these thoughts in my head
Don’t make me wish I were dead
Then I could run away
I could start a new life
Someplace no one would find me
But life’s not play pretend
There’s no running away
No place by the lake
To escape my mind
Instead I go in circles
Replaying the same shit
Over again

But those northern lights
They sing me a symphony
When I find it hard to breathe
I look up to those stormy skies
How I wish I could be
Perfectly wild and free

But life’s not play pretend
I’m not perfectly stable
These thoughts in my head
Still make me wish I were dead
I know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel
If only I could find it
If only I could find it
