I Like Pretending - IAMX

Your silver skin that crawls in rhythm, sweats like spring

Returns me to the death wish

And all my epiphanies that branded me and broke my knees

Confirms me into the death wish

Misfits for free, a gravity pure expression tears and

Pulls them into the death wish

And all our accessories that concentrate the pain and tease

Embrace them, with the death wish

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

I like pretending

Are we machines, obsolete, alone

With symbiotic self indulgence

And if we dig deep

The circuitry burnt out, bends

Into neurotic repetition

But your silver skin soothes my aching curses

And reminds me that you’re worth it

The whole world’s insanities

The bleeding hearts and tragedies

Won’t distract me from the death wish

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

I like pretending

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

Are we pretending?

'Cause I like pretending
