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 ?



I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense


Spinning infinity
Boy
The wheel is spinning me

It's 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 plays

You're the pretender
What if I say
That I will never surrender

[2x]



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



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 will never surrender
[2x]



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 ? [7x]



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 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


Keep you in the . . .


Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
