The Pretender

Keep you in the dark
Because they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And saw it all begin

Send in your skeletons
Sing as the bones come marching in again
They keep you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ending, are you ready?

I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spending this energy
But the wheel thats spinnin' me is 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 plate, you're the pretender
What if I say I'll never surrender

What if I say you're not like the others
What if I say you're not just another one
Of you're plays, you're the pretender
What if I say I'll never surrender

In time I'm so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we are temporary, temporary, same old story

What if I say you're 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'll never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say you're not just another one
You pray, you're the pretender
What if I say I'll never surrender

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face mirroring yourself
I'm whats left, I'm whats right, I'm the enemy
I'm the face that takes you down and brings you to your knees

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

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'll never surrender

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I don't trust another one
You pray, you're the pretender
What if I say I'll never surrender

Keep you in the dark
Because they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And saw it all begin
