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 go marching in...
Again.
The need you burried deep.
The secrets that you keep are
Ever ready.
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense.
Done pleading ignorance.
That whole defence.

Spinning infinity, boy.
The wheel is spinning me.
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story.

CHORUS x2:
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?

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.

CHORUS x2...

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? x3

Keep you in the dark.
You know they all pretend.

CHORUS x4...

So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you? x2
