lyrics

My ship is wrecked, I barely float
I heard your echo say you’d never go
Washed ashore, I wake up to find you gone
With scraps you left, I built a fort
Under moonlight on the shore
From where you sailed off the pitch black sea calls me to its mouth

A world apart
I'm a child lost in pretend
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend

Swimming out, I search the sea
For any sign you might have called for me
Empty handed, I lose my legs I lose my arms
One last look up, that moon still glows
Lit by a source of light I used to know
Some distant sun warms foreign ground where you walk now

A world apart
I'm a child lost in pretend
(Where we ended)
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend
(Were you pretending?)
You don't start
Kind of looks like you'll never end
(You'll never end)
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend

Sinking down, I lose my lungs
A final voice speaks in foreign tongues
Its message clear: “There is new life after this life”

There is new life after this life

Let go of me
Don’t let go of me
Sometimes a lie will bring you peace
Most times it knocks you to your knees
Let go of me
Never let go of me
Sometimes pretend will tend your wound
Each night the sun bows to the moon

Let go of me
(There is new life after this life)
Don’t let go of me

When we next start
Know I'll find you again
Tell me where you'll be, imaginary friend
