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 ever ready
Are you ready?
Im finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
Its never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
What if I say Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say that Ill never surrender?
In time our soul untold
Im just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
Were temporary, temporary
Same old story
What if I say Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say that Ill never surrender?
What if I say Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say that Ill never surrender?
Im the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
Im the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
Im whats left, Im whats right
Im the enemy
Im 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 Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say Im not like the others?
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
Youre the pretender
What if I say that Ill never surrender?
What if I say Im not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
Youre the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say Im not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say Im not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
Youre the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
