[hometext] => to be or not to be, that is no longer the question.
[bodytext] => I pretend I'm alive; I pretend I like things; I pretend I know what I'm talking about; I pretend to love my family; I pretend to love my girlfriend; I pretend to be close to my friends; I pretend to have a good time; I pretend to be happy... I pretend to play the guitar; I pretend to sing, and then they'll laugh, and I pretend to be amused. I pretend life is great; I pretend life's prospects will be great also; I pretend to drive to places; I pretend to enjoy the parties; I pretend to smile before the flash, and I show my teeth when I pretend to smile; I pretend I'm surprised when I receive a gift; I pretend to be so happy when I meet someone new; I pretend I need to be well dressed; I pretend I need to talk with eloquency; I pretend I need a good job; I pretend I need all these fancy ikea furnitures; And night would fall and I'm all alone and I'll sit by my old creaky table; I drink tequila with two cubes of ice; I listen to the sound of them clashing together; Then I realize I'm not pretending to hear this; then my minds will wonder, all free, in every direction; then I close my eyes; then the world is dark; I stand up, pretend it's another whole new day, and it's gonna be great, all the troubles are no more. I pretend I care.
