[VERSE 1:]

Keep you in th

e dark
              
You know they 

     
all        pre


tend

Keep you in th

e dark
          
And so it all 

-     
       began

Send in your s

keletons
              
Sing as their 

              
bones go march

      
ing in... agai

n
            
The need you b

       
uried deep
              
The secrets th

              
at you keep ar

  
e ever ready

Are you ready?

I'm finished m

aking sense

Done pleading ignorance
        
That whole    

   
   defense

Spinning infin

ity, boy

The wheel is spinning me
        
It's never-end

     
ing, never-end

ing

Same old story


[CHORUS:]

What if I say 

I'm not like t

he others?
              
What if I say 

              
I'm not just a

       
nother one of 

your plays?

You're the pretender

What if I say 

that I'll neve

r surrender?


What if I say 

I'm not like t

he others?
              
What if I say 

              
I'm not just a

       
nother one of 

your plays?

You're the pretender
          
What if I say 

              
that I'll neve

           
r surrender? (

2x)


[VERSE 2:]
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


[CHORUS] (2x).

AND SING:
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 th

e dark
              
You know they 

   
all      prete

nd


[CHORUS.]



So who are you

?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
