Pretend Lyrics

Sieve headed watch it drain away

Incomprehension is the slap back moment of dread

Learned a new thing at school today

Won't take it further ahead

Slack jawed missed the joke again

Sink in the ground hear the muffled sounds over my head

T-rex arms pushing fate away

Play dead for the whole day

Pretend

Don't want to give it away

Offend

Crawl under a stone

And dip your nose in your gamma ray

It's important to understand the differences between being direct and being rude

Directness is frank and honest

While rudeness is aggressive and disparaging

By using direct speech you can be clear

Without making your listener feel like they have to defend themselves and their ideas

For an interaction to be successful

The needs of both communicators needs to be considered

Pretend

Don't want to give it away

Offend

Crawl under stone

and dip your nose in your gamma ray

You sense

You're on a different plain

And You're friends

Are other chicks in the nest

Who fatten up as you waste away

You're in a different page

And you fear

Humiliation is life

And Confidence was a holiday

Details fall away from me

End chat because the facts crawled out of my head

Tongue tied and oblivious

Don't retain what I read

Tormented by technology

Back turned and it leap frogs over my head

Fell behind where I'm supposed to be

Forgot the words that you said
