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 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 old defense Spinning infinity, but 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'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? 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? I'm the voice inside your head that 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 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?
