lyrics

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 from 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
