The Pretender

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began

Am

Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones go marching in... again

Am

The need you buried deep

The secrets that you keep are ever ready

Are you ready?

Am

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance

That whole defense

Am

Spinning infinity, boy

The wheel is spinning me

It's never-ending, never-ending

Same old story

Am

R: 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? (2x)

Am

In time or so I'm told

I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well

Am

The page is out of print

We are not permanent

We're temporary, temporary

Same old story

R: What if I say I'm not like the others... (2x)

Am

I'm the voice inside your head

You refuse to hear

Am

I'm the face that you have to face

Mirrored in your stare

Am

I'm what's left, I'm what's right

I'm the enemy

Am

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

R: What if I say I'm not like the others... (4x)

So who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?
