lyrics

Stop Pretending

As long as you conform,
As long as you bow down,
As long as you fit in,
The way they'd like you to,
You'll be alright,

As long as you stay quiet,
As long as you die inside,
As long as you listen,
The way they'd like you to,
You'll be alright,

Let's keep pretending,
Oh, Let's Keep pretending x3

As long as you stay trapped,
As long as you can't think,
Along as you stay,
The way they'd like you to,
You'll be alright,

As long as you stay scared,
As long as you stay dumb,
As long as you look,
The way They's like you to,
You'll be alright,

Let's keep pretending,
Oh, Let's Keep pretending x3

As long as you're not seen,
As long as they can't see,
As long as you're kept,
The way they want it all,
You'll be alright,

Let's keep pretending,
Oh, Let's Keep pretending x3

What a super album! I am familiar with and really like the singer's own albums (James Harris - also on Bandcamp!) and bought this on the back of that. Very different but still really excellent. To my ears, at least, had a very original 80s sound. Highly recommend it either way. NeuroMage Mark

A stellar cast of artists put their own shadowy spins on recent Bestial Mouths material—toward the goth club floor or into pure noise. Bandcamp New & Notable May 11, 2021
