Pretense - Knuckle Puck

I'll take it inward so no one sees

While you find slumber on tops of trees

And after all of this I still find it hard to breathe

I taught myself things you never did

You need a spine like I need new skin

But neither will ever happen

How dare you guilt me for not sticking around

As if you ever did for me

I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight

You left me with a choice and a pretense

I will not follow in your footsteps

I'll find a face to call my own

Because the mask you wear is all ive ever known

Consider this a repercussion

Of the actions which you were

Never properly punished for due to

An overbearing demeanor brought

On by your own self awareness your credibility

Is a half empty glass of salt water

That I watched you spill over and over

And over again go ahead make me the bad guy

How dare you guilt me for not sticking around

As if you ever did for me

I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight

You left me with a choice and a pretense

So ill take what strength I have left

If you could call it that

And ill give you time to reflect

Then you can call me back

Then you can call me back

How dare you guilt me for not sticking around

As if you ever did for me

I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight

You left me with a choice and a pretense

You left me with a choice and a pretense

You left me with a choice and a pretense
