Let's Not Pretend Lyrics - Forfeit / Fortune - Crooked Fingers

You can waste your precious time 

Trying to erase all your thin little crimes 

Making no waves, tiny drops in the ocean 

Why trade old habits for new found devotions 

When you can shed your skin 

And slither in with some new friends 

Cover your homes 

Put a hat on your head 

Paint everything blue that used to be red 

We'll jump in the river 

In the black water brine 

Down to some treasure that they left behind 

You may get rich 

Or maybe you will drown 

So let's begin 

The question is not if, but when 

And let's not pretend to be new men 

You can change your shirt 

Scrub off the grime and the dirt 

Walk by the mirrors, don't look at yourself 

And pull all your sinister ways from the shelf 

'Cause you did what you did 

And you did it so well 

Say that you won't, but you'll do it again 

They could not trust you before 

And they won't trust you now 

Oh, they won't trust you now 

So go out, repent 

Go be sorry now, for your sins 

And let's not pretend 

Oh, let's not pretend 

No, no, no no 

Let's not pretend 

Oh, let's not pretend 

Let's not pretend to be new men 

Let's not pretend 

Oh, let's not pretend 

Let's not pretend to be new men 

Let's not pretend to be new men 

Let's not pretend to be new men 

Let's not pretend to be new men
