Breathe in
Breathe now
You have to calm down
Let me show you somewhere we could hide
We can stay in here until sunrise
Moving forward
Step by step
Once more
Follow my instructions
You'll be fine
That will only hurt for a short time

With promises of freedom
I would never lie to you
Only speaking the way you do too
How great that it must be
To walk outside and see
Others just like and not

I am not like you
I can't do all that you do
No matter how desperately I want to

When you look into my eyes you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I'm not your enemy
No more anxiety
Though you're right to be wary
Cause I know how to pretend

How to pretend

Breathe in
Breathe out
I'm lost in here now
And of course I know that
There's no way I can turn back
I'm left in the dark
To play my part
Follow every lie you feed me
As they lead to more and more agony

Are we on the same team after all this time
Are we really feeling a pain of the same kind
Watching from outside you can't see all the things I do
You're a circus monster and now's your cue

You were right
When you said that we're not the same
Because unlike you
I can feel pain

When I look into your eyes I see
A facade you are not trustworthy
You are my enemy
Faking your empathy
I was right to be wary
When you know how to pretend

How to pretend

When you look into my eyes you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I'm not your enemy
No more anxiety
Though you're right to be wary
Cause I know

You're no good at pretending

Come dance and we'll be prismatic
I'm not falling for all your tricks
Let's put on a show
Before the curtain falls
Before the curtain falls
I won't take a bow
It's time our final show
This mangled freakshow is where we end it all
Is where we start it all
