The Pretender

1. 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 go marching 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, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story.

[Chorus:]
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?

2. 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.

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus x2]

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