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 you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
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 you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
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?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say you're not just another one in your place?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)

(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
