Keep On Pretending

from The Solipsist (fdm139) by Chris Anderson

lyrics

i found the genie
under the pavilion lights
or was i dreaming
sometimes i can't tell if it's night

just keep on pretending
that i'm not ending up in between
keep on pretending
it's nothing that i've never seen

i hit the bottle
harder than a paving stone
and i threw it out
i'm better off when i'm alone

just keep on pretending
that i'm not ending up in between
keep on pretending
it's nothing that i've never seen

islands only join when oceans dry
who's got the time to rectify
all the giants in the way
that keep our spider sense at bay
and all that we can do is wait

i pulled the curtain
down from where you held it there
i knew for certain
that we were locked up in an icy stare
i declare nothing
but a cast of millions on my tongue
they keep me running
up and down the hill until i'm done

just keep on pretending
that i'm not ending up in between
keep on pretending
it's nothing that i've never seen

-9/1/21
