Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

And so it all began

Clap your fuckin' hands!

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 whole defense

Spinning infinity, but

The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending, never-ending

Same old-, sing along!

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 ever surrender?

Whoa, yeah!

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-, sing with me now!

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 ever 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 ever surrender?

Whoa!

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear

I'm the face that you have to face, mirroring your stare

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

I'm the hand that'll 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?

You're the pretender

What if I say (I will never surrender?) Here we go

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark

You know they all pretend

You better sing it, ready?

So, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?
