Stay overthinking, but kindness is the thing that you never regret.

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 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 out of 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 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 that I'll never surrender?

What if I say you're not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another (you know they all)
One of your plays, 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 (you know they all)
One of your plays, 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?
