*Lyrics* (From the postboard, thank you all) 

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 come marchin in... again 
The need you buried deep 
The secrets that you keep are at the ready 
Are you ready? 

I'm finished makin sense 
Done pleading ignorance 
That whole defense 
Spending this energy 
But the wheel is spinnin' 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 outta 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 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 

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?  
(Keep you in the dark) 
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays 
(you know they all) 
You're the pretender  
(pretend) 
What if I say I will never surrender 

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 
(you know they all) 
You're the pretender  
(pretend) 
What if I say I will never surrender 

So who are you 
Yeah who are you 
Yeah who are you!
