I could be so peaceful now
In my happy place like my childhood house
But the earth keeps turning
And it’s telling me that all must change until infinity
I believe that I'm a clever girl
In a clever world but is it not absurd
That with every breath we’re drifting further
And further away from reality

A pretending world
We love to call it truth
But it frightens me so bad
I don’t know what I’ve learned
Cause it's so hard to sing along
In all of this mess

If you’d only be so kind and leave me alone
For a while then you would see
That I never missed the signs you sent to me
We’re all so weary of this century

A pretending world
We love to call it truth
But it frightens me so bad
I don’t know what I’ve learned
'Cause it's so hard to sing along
In all of this mess

This generation
Our generation

I know why I find it hard to sleep
Here are millions of minds to please
And I'm aware that I'm way too prone
Much too soft to let them in
My head wants to know everything
My heart it keeps on shouting
To not give up and let them win
Resolve to keep on fighting

A pretending world
We love to call it truth
But it frightens me so bad
