Red sunken skies
Meant for these lifeless eyes
A trick out of the hat
An optimal delusion
The trigger released
Sets of realistic contentious messages
My last final trick

Restless nights
My mind paying the price
In the land of pretending
Is it right or is it wrong
It's like I'm balancing on a ledge
Do you know how to play pretend?
Plunged between two fraudulent places
Forced to hit center straight
Pretending...
Silent shadows seeps
through cracks of each wall
Surrounding from left and right
Bullseye
I see it now
Yes, it's all about pretending

Each player must accept the cards life deals but once they are in hand
Pick a card any card
I can read your soul
This thing I have been given
I will play this poor hand well
I can see how this ends
Is it magic or is it a curse
The truth hurts
One last miracle I have to pull off
After all, a king is not born, It is made
