Pretend

Forcing this smile
Feels like I just ran a mile
Cause pretending is too hard
But, I have to play, it's my only card
I can't let them see
The weakness in thee
Or the shadows in my mind
Taking the light making me blind

They can't see me here
Standing, my demons and me
On the verge of collision
And I'm afraid I have no religion
A human with no faith
And in my sins I bathe
And as I face this pain
I keep praying for the rain
Though I know that my words will fade
In front of the throne's gate.
