lyrics

What was the question?
Who knows for sure?
But we’re all going down down down

Champagne and secrets
Hopeless I’m sure
I am waiting for no one here

My eyes are open in the dark
Gazing at a vacant heart
The great pretender
The great pretender
In the lap of luxury
Lays what anyone will see
The great pretender sighs

Holes in my ceiling
Soaking the floor
Just like Heaven is waiting

Writing in cursive
Cursing this world
I guess we’re all going to die someday

My eyes are open in the dark
Gazing at a vacant heart
The great pretender
The great pretender
In the lap of luxury
Lays what anyone will see
The great pretender sighs

Breathe it in
And let me out
I’ll be fine
Turn the tide
As waters rise
I’ll be fine

The Active Set Los Angeles, California

The Active Set was born of the excitement of late '70s/early '80s post punk and new wave, unified with '90s alternative and viewed through the referential lens of the '00s. Drawing from this wide range of influences, the band yields a sound that is both energetic and intelligent. The Active Set love driven melodies with smart hooks. Then they like to change their minds, and change it up. ... more
