Playing Pretend (Inspired by The Hunchback Of Notre Dame)
There's a hazy shade of gray,
settled in front of me.
I can't see past anything.
It really drives me crazy.
But I still think that I see everything.
Just a kid in America living in a full state,
it's called insanity.
I could be the knight.
You can be the princess.
I can be a light.
You can be no stress.
I can be your friend.
You can be a story with no end.
We're anything and everything when we play pretend
Living for the thrill of art,
it always becomes me.
Chained to the thrill of art,
I don't make it anymore, now it makes up me.
We build our lives around a fantasy.
I could be the knight.
You can be the princess.
I can be a light.
You can be no stress.
I can be your friend.
You can be a story with no end.
We're anything and everything when we play pretend.
