I like to pretend that there’s nothing new.
but all of these people, they seem quite blue.
I can see, through and through.
You think toxic people are good for you.

Despite your beliefs
it is just such a relief
to see you still standing here.
While pain is still your greatest fear.

I like to pretend that there is nothing new.
but all of these people, they seem quite taboo.
I can see, through and through.
You think liars are good for you.

I guess you never stood a chance.
People these days don’t care to dance.
Being different is a disease.
Being the same puts people at ease.

Smiles are contagious.
Giving one is dangerous.
Unfortunately this put you in,
Quarantine is how you live.

I like to pretend that there is nothing new
but all of these people, they seem quite rude.
I can see, through and through
You think cheaters are good for you.

I know your father didn’t set a good example
But why don’t you take this as your own preamble.
People don’t change just as clocks don’t go backwards
Unless they’re so very broken or just very good actors.

I like to pretend that there is nothing new.
but all of these people, they seem quite shrewd.
I can see, through and through.
None of these people are good for you.
