Can’t Pretend
Lyrics by Ryan Lucas

You smile and try to make me
Laugh about the past
Like everything is fine
Exhuming tales from your
Selective memory
When we fought side by side

I remember how we faced down
Countless enemies
You always played the clown
Before you double-crossed me
With a dagger in the back
As trolls, all cut me down

Once, I had kind things to say
Once, till words got in the way
Once, I thought you were my friend
Once, but now I can't pretend

And yet I wonder
What they must have offered you
To make you sell me out
I never took you for a rat
Even the thought
Still makes me curse out loud

I remember how we faced down
Countless enemies
You always played the clown
Before you double-crossed me
With a dagger in the back
As trolls, all cut me down

To blood and ashes
To blood and ashes
I spill the dregs
And shake the dust off my feet
To blood and ashes
To blood and ashes
I wash my hands of thee

Once, I had kind things to say
Once, till words got in the way
Once, I thought you were my friend
Once, but now I can't pretend
