Pretending

Everyone is getting on my nerves

they're all so annoying, i want to be isolated

their actions and behaviors make my stomach churn

im gonna go crazy, gonna need to be sedated

i really need to get away from this place

need to get away, spend some time on my own

i need to keep them from invading my space

wen we'er alone they try to act like they care

trying to fulfill the measure of their title

i like being alone, its all the pretending i cant bear

they act so perfect infront of an audience, like a recital

cant say much though, im pretending too

smiling, being polite, doing what im told

all to avoid the questions that are way past due

dreary like iv sold my soul to the witches and ghouls

i assure you, i have done no such thing

i'm the holder of my own soul

im still able to be happy, so sing

i choose not too, to deprive them from pleasure

if they keep me from the pleasure of happiness

they cant have satisfactory pleasure either
