Thanks. Um, I'm not hearing those. Would be nice to get those ?s, though. "Tragic how, misguided, we pretend" might help. They're really "misguiding", so, either way, this line is difficult to take in.
What's strange is that the vocals and pronunciation are very American/Canadian, but a lot of the writing is unnatural in American English. Overall, still very impressive.

I could not hear those at first too, but it sounded very strange to me: because "other" is supposed to be pronounced like "uther," and he kept singing something like "ather". The first word in the other line definitely sounds like "serry". I tried to make heads or tails of it. Tarry? No. Terry? No. Serry? Yes, there is an old word "serry" meaning to move closer together, especially in rank, but it didn't make sense. So I assumed that the word was "daring" even though it didn't go well with "other". And then it hit me, what if he split a word again, like he did with "pre-tend"? I tried several words, and "adver-sary" was a perfect fit in terms of sense and what I was hearing.

Honestly, the singer's treating words like his b - unorthodox pronunciations, shifted stresses, syllables split between the lines. I don't think there's anything that would be too much of a stretch :) But all I can do is offer my ideas. I'm fairly certain about the "adversary," but I'm a Russian living in Russia, so I've got no one to turn to for a second opinion on English lyrics. Anyway, it's not the end of the world, and maybe one day it'll dawn on them that the point of singing is letting people know what you wanna say, so they'll publish the official lyrics. I wonder why most artists don't bother with it. I primary own records and tapes, not too many CDs, but as you said earlier, many tape cases came with lyric inserts. So yeah.

As for "misguided", the line was ungrammatical with it in the middle, so I tried to find the word's function that could make the line grammatically correct. The only one I could think of is the same as in this sentence: Misguided, we pretend not to know the way, and it's tragic. Move the word to the middle, place it between two commas, and finally two lines sound like proper English and combine in a sensible way.

Hello!
I've seen that here's has been published a part of the lyrics of this song:
https://www.facebook.com/uriahmusic
I have a couple of ideas to offer:
> (?So blind) we infect the other
> Daring to merit the lies we feed to them
Maybe it's my perception that's playing a trick on me, but I think there is no "other" and no "daring" - he's splitting the word "adversary" between the lines. So it goes something like this:
So why can('t) we expect the adver-
-sary to merit the lies we feed to them?
> Tragic how misguided we pretend
Tragic how, misguided, we pretend (as in "how, being misguided, we pretend not to know the way")
> Can we remember how to walk this way again?
Can't we remember...?
> Again?
Somehow I hear "I can".
