[Verse 1]
N.C.
Our lives, like flowing water forever thrown into stages of change
N.C.
The river must duel the rapids before it can rest in the lake
N.C.
Perceptions are conflicted, we waste time fretting what could be
N.C.
The first step to understanding madness: Identify the cures we seek


[Chorus]
                   B    A  D                           E
We're sinking into nothing but we can feel it all the way down

              B   A  D                       E
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground

    B         A             D       E                B           A
We bite our tongues in the face of God, turn nothing into something

D               N.C.
We're not dead yet, we play pretend

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Look around and see the glory, feel the breeze caress your skin

                                                                           B
We have to come to terms with ourselves, real knowledge blooms from within

                       B                                     B
Our strength is found in weakness, push away the thoughts of disgrace

                 B
Let's all refuse restriction, find courage


[Chorus]

                   B    A  D                           E
We're sinking into nothing but we can feel it all the way down

              B   A  D                       E
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground

    B         A             D       E                B           A
We bite our tongues in the face of God, turn nothing into something

D               N.C.
We're not dead yet, we play pretend


[Interlude]
N.C.
I'm too far gone for you to bring me back
N.C.
I'm too far gone for you to bring me back

[Chorus]
 N.C.
We're sinking into nothing but we can feel it all the way down

              B   A  D                       E
Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground

    B         A             D       E                B           A
We bite our tongues in the face of God, turn nothing into something

D               N.C.
We're not dead yet, we play pretend

[Outro]

We play pretend

Oh, we play pretend
