When did I get used to Hiding my face smiling with my eyes Knowing the world through A screen in my palm as the time ticks by Pretending to know I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away fr om what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you I must have gone under (in a sleep) Ages ago now I wake to find (that everywhere I see) Everyone's tired (On their knees) My friends all replaced their moms for wives Now I miss believing In something too good to be true There's just no place for A myth in the modern view I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you And yet when we see each other in the flesh We barely say a word And if we do it's hollow Make plans that we both know We don't intend to follow I'd miss you more If I wasn't used to Pretending to know you I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you
