Pretending to see the future lyrics

Avoiding this is like avoiding a plague

We can't understand the advances we made

We've tried to resist but it's so hard to say no

We're pretending to see what the future will hold

We appear to be in control of our fate

Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war

But its moving so fast we cannot see what we've done

We're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My mind's made up, my heart is broke

My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we could ever believe

The things we asked for but never received

We never understood the times we asked

The way we wasted all that passed

This neglect is final it's a stage we must

Endure to ever hope to see the first

My mind's made up about the things we did

We never saw we believed we couldn't say what we missed

My mind's made up, my heart is broke

My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we could ever believe

The things we asked for but never received

By making noises which we cannot control

The things we hoped that we'd never forgo

We appear to be in control of our fate

Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war

But it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've done

We're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My mind's made up, my heart is broke

My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we could ever believe

The things we asked for but never received
