The Pretender

[Intro] Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend Keep you in the dark And so it all began [Verse 1] Send in your skeletons Sing as their bones go marching in again They need you buried deep The secrets that you keep are at the ready Are you ready? [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 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? [Verse 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 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? [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'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? [Breakdown] Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend [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 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? [Outro] So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
