Bitw - Pretender

Look inside my mouth
Tell me what you see
A thousand pieces of you
A thousand more of me

The man with the beard
He cries as he hears the news
He'd suffered enough
In a time when he’d nothing to lose

Sitting round waiting to be found

Now and again I pretend
To be somebody else
Work it out and learn how
To be scared of myself
When I go, let me know
If you happen to find
Someone better to be

Take your place in time
An unfamiliar age
Thrust into the light
As you step onto the stage

Pull at the skin
The illusion of infinite youth
An impotent wish
To evade unconditional truth
And try the impossible journey
Of crossing the room
It’s all the same
It won’t matter what name you assume
Settled in, ready to begin
