In the world of play pretend,
I pretend that I am dead,
In the world of make believe,
I believe maybe there is relief,

I found it at the bottom of a bottle,
I found it at the tip of a needle,
I found it burning at the bottom of a glass bowl,

In the world of play pretend,
I don't have to raise my fist,
In the world of make believe,
I believe I am at peace,
I never have to fight another human being for what is mine,
I never have to make deals with my demons for my soul back,

In the world of play pretend,
I pretend red balloons and bent up spoons don't bother me,
In the world of make believe,
I believe that clicking torches and plastic baggies don't trigger me,

In the world of play pretend,
I pretend I'm not this rageful girl that will set the world on fire,
In the land of make believe,
I make believe my soul can be as pretty as face is,

In the world of play pretend,
I pretend I'm not always the bad guy,
In the land of make believe I try to make believe I can reverse all of my mistakes
