  • The Pretender

    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 marching in…again
    They 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, boy
    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 that I’ll never surrender?

    In time our soul untold
    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 that I’ll 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?

    I’m the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I’m the face that you have to face
    Mirrored in your stare
    I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right
    I’m the enemy
    I’m the hand that will 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 that I’ll 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 that I’ll 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… pretend)
    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… pretend)
    You’re the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?

    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
