I pretend to walk 
I pretend to breathe 
I know you understand 
You always did 

You prefer to talk 
(And) I pretend to listen 
Three and counting 
I'm still waiting 

I just want to fly 
The morning sun is shattered 
The smile is gone 
Frozen liquid carving stone 

It's time to close our eyes 
As we pretend to care 
I keep still 
Accrete the silence you don’t fill 

I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind 
We spend a little time 
Exchanging words and maybe 
What you'd call emotion 

But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind 
I never meant to hurt 
Still I'm spinning like a 
Roundabout in motion 
(Deceptive detachment ... from this world) 

An echo from afar 
The signal is too weak 
I know you understand 
You always did 

You pretend to bide 
So I pretend to smile 
Three and counting 
I'm still waiting 

I just want to fly 
The medium is shaking 
Your voice is low 
Melting shadows burning snow 

It's time to close our eyes 
Forget what we were told 
I keep still 
Embrace the silence you don't fill 

I'm so glad that you can't read my mind 
We spend a little time 
Exchanging words and maybe 
What you'd call emotion 

But I'm so glad that you can’t read my mind 
I never meant to hurt 
Still I'm spinning like a 
Roundabout in motion 
(Deceptive detachment ... from this world) 

The more you want to feel free 
The deeper your roots need to be
