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

but

The wheel is spinning me

It's neverending

neverending

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

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 mirrored in 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 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)

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?
