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 ever 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 that 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 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 that 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 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'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?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?



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 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

Keep you in the



Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began
