Pretend

Whispered winds across the bay,

Hold your breath, don’t drift away,

Starry secrets softly sway,

In the night where dreams can play.

Silhouette against the moonlit tide,

Lost in shadows, nowhere to hide,

Gentle tides of thoughts collide,

In a moment where the worlds divide.

Just a pretend, just a pretend,

Hold on tight, don’t let it end,

Fading lines that we defend,

In this dream we still pretend.

Somewhere out beyond the dawn,

Swimming in illusions gone,

Hold me close, I’m still a pawn,

In the game we carry on.

Echoes of a whispered lie,

Floating free, askin’ why,

In this fantasy, we fly,

Pretend that we can never die.

So here we stand, pretend again,

Walking on the edge of pain,

In a world we can't sustain,

Love’s a myth we fake, refrain.
