We’re all just pretending
At least Actors don’t pretend
We’re making it all up
We’re just going along
Let’s not pretend to not know
Let’s not be willfully ignorant
At the very least

This world is ours
At least that’s what we’re told
We made that up too
We’ll pretend till we’re dead
We’ll look up pretending
We’ll pretend we’re not dead
At least let’s be real
At least let’s be honest
We’re all just pretending
Pretending what’s real

Simplicity isn’t simple
It really isn’t
I promise you
Randomness isn’t simple

It is contrary to reason
It’s Amazingly broken
Gripped and it’s OK

What’s wrong with deliberation
When you’re not in a court?
Smile, life is fucking awesome!

Tenuous perfection
In this reality
When would perfection be anything but?

When is that moment?
When I fell into something
It was beautiful, it was unexpected
It was something

When the song spoke to me
When it made me whole
When it defined me
It was everything

That time, that haze of importance
It made me
It was
It is

I’ve never seen equality
I’ve seen diversity
I’ve seen beauty
I’ve seen everything

I love the difference
I embrace wildly random
It is beauty
It is reality

We all see everything until we don’t
Once we give up on everything we lose
We all lose, we lose everything

Give everything
Lose nothing
Gain everything

I’m thinking about those times that I wrote
I felt inspired and I moved
It was good and I shared
It was simple and real, it was complicated

I wrote in cryptic ways
I thought I would leave it up to interpretation
I left it open
I left it unclear

I’m turning over that new leaf
I’m going to say what I mean
I’m going to mean what I say
I’m going to make it clear
