Stop Pretending

Chronic Future

if for just one night

we could stop pretending

that we're never ending

cause soon i'll have to go



my biggest fear in life is that the universe works

i guess to be blessed we have to be cursed first

well obviously waiting on honesty hurts worse

than arguing over how much the dirt's worth

if that type of magic when creative spurts burst

can turn to a flat line from hospitalized bird chirps

would you line up with me to be the first cursed

to prove to this nervous earth the universe works



for just one night

could we just stop pretending

that we're never ending

cause soon i'll have to go

these days are coming

to an end my friend

so can we just stop pretending

i'm here to stay



all right all right the universe works had enough with the crisis

i'm sure that all our heads have been stuck in vice grips

when advice gets repetitive that's because it is

so we should stop pretending we haven't heard it before this

so who ever you share life with whether it be your lover parent

grandparent sister or brother

let them know to make sure they knew

that they were appreciated for taking on the challenge of you



try

get to the other side

rise

watch your halo grow in size

i

hope to god that i

will never be given another personality that i'll have to resign



cause you didn't cherish all those times we had

you find yourself feeling sad

cause i've gone away
