Ruining My Pretending

There'll never be a day when reality can shut me up
I like to think and believe in how I was brought up
I'm part of a people, people of the day in stories getting old in the people those portray

There are those who sit and listen, to observe and drink it in
There are those who just can't taste it, and they just skip to the end
Well, me, I'm just a fool, who puts himself in that atmosphere
But at least I feel the emotions, and at least I feel the emotions

It's just a story, we all know the feeling
You don't believe that you're ruining my pretending

Shoutout to the folks who grew up to live around
Those who are different and those who hear sounds
That art that speaks to them, whether or not they agree with it?
Still got chance to speak before some asshole said 'away with it'

There are those who sit and listen, to observe and drink it in
There are those who just can't taste it, and they just skip to the end
Well, me, I'm just a fool, who puts himself in that atmosphere
But at least I feel the emotions, and at least I feel the emotions

It's just a story, we all know the feeling
You don't believe that you're ruining my pretending

Some look out the window when the moon is getting high
And some look at the walls when there's fireworks outside
Well, me, I'm just a fool, and me I'm just a fool

It's just a story, we all know the feeling
You don't believe that you're ruining my pretending (ruining my pretending)
