The Pretender lyrics

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

They 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

It's been
an 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 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 that I'll
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
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?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

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 that I'll
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?

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
Oh, so who are you?

Yeah who are you?

Yeah who are you?
