ElysianSoul - Play Pretend lyrics

{Verse 1} You’re talking to yourself again Behind deadened eyes Seeing ghosts and imaginary friends Your grip starts to slip again You’re up and down, hot and cold Living make-believe and play pretend {Chorus} Helter-skelter, spiralling down Your skeletal armour won’t save you now Ugly carcass, a padded cell Keep me in the darkness, under your spell {Verse 2} Lost in your carnival again Drowning in a hall of mirrors Body shaking like you hit a dead end A masquerade, a false pretence Use your outside face So nobody sees your dark intent {Chorus} Helter-skelter, spiralling down Your skeletal armour won’t save you now Ugly carcass, a padded cell Keep me in the darkness, under your spell {Bridge} Within my subconscious, a mental unrest Keep me in the darkness as the horrors manifest Psychosomatic sickness My sanity breaks and bends Somewhere along the spectrum I’m playing play pretend {Outro} Within my subconscious Unforgiving mental fight Somewhere in the darkness I crave it, tonight
