It's a burden don't you know
When you're the only
One with a secret
Paranoia is paramount
You fear unwinding
Spilling all that you know

Breathe
You're not the only pretender
In this world
Or the first one to pretend

Don't hold your righteousness
Above all else to the bitter end
Other wise you'll only
Have ghosts to call your friends

Feel the desperation
As you catch the train
Walk in the city

No one looks at the sky
Eyes weighed down
By all of life's worries

You feel like a stranger
In your own house
A rank outsider
With no chance

Breathe
You're not the only pretender
In this world
Or the first one to pretend

Don't hold your righteousness
Above all else to the bitter end
Other wise you'll only
Have ghosts to call your friends
