I pretend to walk    I pretend to breathe    I know you understand    You always did       You prefer to talk    (And) I pretend to listen    Three and counting    I'm still waiting       I just want to fly    The morning sun is shattered    The smile is gone    Frozen liquid carving stone       It's time to close our eyes    As we pretend to care    I keep still    Accrete the silence you don’t fill       I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind    We spend a little time    Exchanging words and maybe    What you'd call emotion       But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind    I never meant to hurt    Still I'm spinning like a    Roundabout in motion    (Deceptive detachment ... from this world)       An echo from afar    The signal is too weak    I know you understand    You always did       You pretend to bide    So I pretend to smile    Three and counting    I'm still waiting       I just want to fly    The medium is shaking    Your voice is low    Melting shadows burning snow       It's time to close our eyes    Forget what we were told    I keep still    Embrace the silence you don't fill       I'm so glad that you can't read my mind    We spend a little time    Exchanging words and maybe    What you'd call emotion       But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind    I never meant to hurt    Still I'm spinning like a    Roundabout in motion    (Deceptive detachment ... from this world)       The more you want to feel free    The deeper your roots need to be
