How To Pretend
[Verse 1: Luka]
Breathe in, breathe now
You have to calm down
Let me show you somewhere we could hide
We can stay in here until sunrise

[Verse 2: Luka]
Moving forward
Step by step, once more
Follow my instructions, You'll be fine
This will only hurt for a short time

[Pre-Chorus: Luka]
With promises of freedom
I would never lie to you
Only speaking the way you do too
How great that it must be
To walk outside and see
Others just like you
And not--

"I am not like you
I can't do all that you do
No matter how desperately I want to"

[Chorus: Luka]
When you look into my eyes, you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I'm not your enemy, no more anxiety
Though, you're right to be wary
'Cause I know how to pretend
HOW TO PRETEND
[Verse 3: Gumi]
Breathe in, breathe out
I'm lost in here now
And of course I know that
There's no way, There's no way I can turn back

[Verse 2: Gumi]
I'm left in the dark to play my part
Follow every lie you feed me
As they lead to more and more agony

[Pre-Chorus: Gumi]
Are we on the same team after all this time?
Are we really feeling a pain of the same kind?
Watching from the outside, You
Can't see all the things I do
You're a circus MONSTER and now's your cue

"You were right
When you said that 'we're not the same'
Because unlike you
I can feel pain"

[Chorus: Gumi]
When I look into your eyes, I see
A facade, you are not trustworthy
You are my enemy, faking your empathy
I was right to be wary
When you know how to pretend
HOW TO PRETEND
[Bridge: Luka]
When you look into my eyes, you see
A mirage of something trustworthy
I'm not your enemy, no more anxiety
Though, you're right to be wary
'Cause I know...
You're no good at pretending

[Outro: Luka and Gumi]
Come dance and we'll be prismatic
(I'm not falling for all your tricks)
Let's put on a show before the curtain falls
(Before the curtain falls I won't take a bow)
It's time, our finale's now
(This mangled freak show is where we end it all)
Is where we start it all
