The Pretender

Lyrics

Keep you in the dark
 You know they all pretend
 Keep you in the dark
 And so it all began
 Send in your skeletons
 Sing as their bones come marchin' in again
 The need you buried deep
 The secrets that you keep are at the ready
 Are you ready?
 I'm finished making sense
 Done pleading ignorance, that whole defense
 Spinning infinity, but
 The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending, never-ending
 Same old story
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 In time, or so I'm told
 I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
 The page is out of print
 We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary
 Same old story
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender? Oh
 I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
 I'm the face that you have to face, mirroring your stare
 I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
 I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees
 So, who are you?
 Yeah, who are you?
 Yeah, who are you?
 Yeah, who are you?
 Keep you in the dark
 You know they all pretend
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 What if I say I'm not like the others?
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
 You're the pretender
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
 You're the pretender (pretend)
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
 What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
 You're the pretender (pretend)
 What if I say I will never surrender?
 So, who are you?
 Yeah, who are you?
 Yeah, who are you?
