Let's pretend I'm the new lover,

I'm a stranger not yet discovered,

I'm the voice and the solution

Nine more goals and I'm an illusion

Illusion illusion

So let's pretend they mean something

I'm still under their skin they're still wearing me in

Under tongue a new language to master,

Closing in on the wall now, faster and faster.
