lets just pretend - fill each other up with sterile smiles and synchronized laughs we can go on quiet walks and whisper fake hellos lets pretend our milky eyes and wrinkled foreheads are problems fixed in time lets pretend man didn't scalpel the world into tiny little pieces defiling its great potential separating hearts and minds hands and waists families and religion lets pretend a flag is worth my empty chest

this country is a ghost
lets just pretend - fill each other up with sterile smiles and synchronized laughs we can go on quiet walks and whisper fake hellos lets pretend our milky eyes and wrinkled foreheads are problems fixed in time lets pretend man didn't scalpel the world into tiny little pieces defiling its great potential separating hearts and minds hands and waists families and religion lets pretend a flag is worth my empty chest
