Patch yourself till you’re patches over patches
Make a face that tries to show that you’re ok
Close your eyes and find a silence in the static
Suck it in and fight it out another day
Don’t let her see how much you ache
Don’t let them know it hurts that badly
This game isn’t theirs to play
The sound advice was what they didn’t mean to give you
Just close your eyes, let go, float away
Remind myself that’m the one controlling motion
Pretend that’s good enough to put your head at ease
Motion’s no good when it’s controlled by one’s emotion
Remove the crazy, cause that’s all they’ve ever seen
You stay alight
You stay alive
Pretend it’s fine
Shut off and die
Pretend you’re blind
Pretend you won’t
Shut off and die
Pretend to care
Keep breathing air
Pretend it’s fine
Shut off and die
Pretend it’s fine
Pretend you won’t
Shut off and die
Shut off and die
Don’t let her see how much you ache
Don’t let them know it hurts that badly
This game isn’t theirs to play
The sound advice was what they didn’t mean to give you
Just close your eyes, let go, float away
Don’t let her see how much you ache
Don’t let them know it hurts that badly
This game isn’t theirs to play
The sound advice was what they didn’t mean to give you
Just close your eyes, let go, float away
