That whole defense
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say I will never surrender?
Yeah, who are you?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
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?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not like the others?
Keep you in the dark
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

The page is out of print, we are not permanent
It's never ending, never ending

Same old story
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(You know they all pretend)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
I'm finished making sense

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
So who are you? Yeah, who are you?
They need you buried deep
(You know they all pretend)
(Keep you in the dark)
I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
You're the pretender
So who are you? Yeah, who are you?
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons

You're the pretender
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
Are you ready?
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I will never surrender?
Same old story
Spinning infinity
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not like the others?
Sing as their bones go marching in again

What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

I'm the face that you have to face, mirrorin' your stare
What if I say I'm not like the others?
You're the pretender
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
What if I say I will never surrender?
Done pleading ignorance
(Keep you in the dark)
In time or so I'm told
We're temporary, temporary
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
Boy, the wheel is spinning me
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees
