The Greatest Pretender

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it feels like my life's broken down
My guitar's on my back and my head's in the clouds
And my friends all seem eager to get out the house
While I'm sitting here trying to figure it out for myself
'Cause it feels like I'm headed to hell

[Chorus]
I'm the greatest pretender around
A most worthy contender
I'll never surrender, and now
In the wake of the end of december
I scream through the ember:
"Danger, let me - danger, let me go!"

[Verse 2]
And when life comes to haunt me
My only release
Is a gut-wrenching fit of pure anxiety
While I freak out about what I just don't believe
And here I am, trying to breathe!

[Chorus]
I'm the greatest pretender around
A most worthy contender
I'll never surrender, and now
In the wake of the end of december
I scream through the ember:
"Danger, let me - danger, let me go!
Danger, let me - danger, let me go!"

[Outro]
The thing is
If you just do stuff and nothing happens
What's it all mean?
What's the point?
