Campfire embers wreathe your head and you pretend to be holy
Stardust falls upon your shoulders and you pretend to be ethereal
Sunlight dances on your face and you pretend to be gentle
fire dances around your fingertips and you pretend to be the good guy
dark light swirls around your body and you pretend to be calm
Mist guides your footsteps and you pretend to be home.
Brine trembles on your cheeks and you pretend to be freedom
Blood splatters on your face and you pretend to be righteous
tasteless medicine stains your tongue and you pretend to be well
electronic screens tire your eyes and you pretend to be satisfied
their hurtful words touch your brain and you pretend to be oblivious
Heavy, divine wings pull at your back and you pretend to be human.
prayers sing to your ears and you pretend to answer them
Death covers you like a veil and you pretend to be alive.
