Lyrics
You don't care what we get up to.
You are indifferent to our actions.
You say "whatever, it's fine,"
You dismissively say "whatever, it's fine."
Knowing everything happens thanks to you
You acknowledge that everything happens because of you.
So when we fight you say we just can't help it
In conflicts, you claim it's inevitable.
You get whatever you want while we're left washing the blood from the pavement
You obtain what you desire, leaving us to deal with the aftermath.
But you let me pretend I'm not alone
You allow me to pretend I'm not isolated.
You let me pretend I'm not alone
You allow me to pretend I'm not alone (repeated).
You let me depend on my relations with the pixels on my phone
You allow me to rely on my relationships with pixels on my phone.
You let me pretend
You allow me to maintain illusions.
A hundred million voices screaming
A multitude of voices express their concerns.
About a little bit of everything
Discussing a variety of topics.
Guess there's just ourselves to blame
We only have ourselves to blame.
But you let us pretend we're not alone
You allow us to pretend we are not alone.
You let us pretend we're not alone
You allow us to pretend we are not alone (repeated).
You let us defend our bad opinions from the comfort of our homes
You let us defend our controversial views from the comfort of our homes.
You let us pretend
You allow us to maintain illusions.
You'd have us roam out into the night
You suggest venturing out into the night.
Smoke from torches choke the sky
Torches create a smoky, oppressive atmosphere.
But I know if I shut you down then I'll be gone forever
If I challenge you, I risk losing myself permanently.
So with your implicit approval in sight
With your implied consent, we witness loved ones absorbed into a system.
We'll see our friends and family sucked through a pipeline
But I can't disconnect; otherwise, I'll be lost forever.
But I can't shut you down I'll be lost forever
We pretend, pretend, pretend we're not alone (repeated).
We get to pretend, pretend, pretend we're not alone
We get to maintain illusions.
We get to pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
We get to maintain illusions (repeated).
We get to pretend, pretend, pretend we're not alone
-We get to pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
