Lyrics
0:03Lyric Maker:RachelSYY
0:10Keep you in the dark
0:14You know they all pretend
0:22Keep you in the dark
0:25And so it all began
0:36Send in your skeletons
0:38Sing as their bones go marching in again
0:47The need you buried deep
0:50The secrets that you keep are at the ready
0:55Are you ready
0:58I'm finished making sense
1:01Done pleading ignorance
1:03That whole defense
1:09Spinning infinity boy
1:12The wheel is spinning me
1:14It's never-ending never-ending
1:20Same old story
1:23What if I say I'm not like the others
1:25What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
1:30You're the pretender
1:31What if I say that I'll never surrender
1:34What if I say I'm not like the others
1:36What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
1:41You're the pretender
1:42What if I say that I'll never surrender
1:48In time or so i'm told
1:51I'm just another soul for sale oh well
1:59The page is out of print
2:02We are not permanent
2:04We're temporary temporary
2:10Same old story
2:13What if I say I'm not like the others
2:15What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
2:20You're the pretender
2:21What if I say that I'll never surrender
2:23What if I say I'm not like the others
2:26What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
2:31You're the pretender
2:32What if I say that I'll never surrender
2:43I'm the voice inside your head
2:46You refuse to hear
2:48I'm the face that you have to face
2:51Mirrored in your stare
2:54I'm what's left I'm what's right
2:57I'm the enemy
3:00I'm the hand that will take you down
3:02Bring you to your knees
3:05So who are you
3:07Yeah who are you
3:10Yeah who are you
3:13Yeah who are you
3:18Keep you in the dark
3:21You know they all pretend
3:27What if I say I'm not like the others
3:30What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
3:34You're the pretender
3:36What if I say that I'll never surrender
3:38What if I say I'm not like the others
3:41What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
3:45You're the pretender
3:47What if I say that I'll never surrender
3:49What if I say I'm not like the others
3:52（Keep you in the dark）
3:53What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
3:55（You know they all pretend）
3:58You're the pretender
3:58What if I say that I'll never surrender
4:00What if I say I'm not like the others
4:03（Keep you in the dark）
4:04What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
4:07（You know they all pretend）
4:08You're the pretender
4:09What if I say that I'll never surrender
4:14So who are you
4:17Yeah who are you
