Foo Fighters - The pretender

[Shirley*]

keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
keep you in the dark and saw it all begin

send in your skeletons
sing as the bones come marchin' in again
the knee 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
spending this energy
but the wheel thats spinnin' me is never ending, never ending
same ol' story

what if I say I'm not like the others
what if I'm not just another one
of your plays, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender

in time I'm so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
the pages I repress
they are not permanent, they are temporary, same ol story



what if I say I'm not like the others
what if I'm not just another one
of your plays, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face you have to face mirroring yourself
I'm whats left, I'm whats right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that takes you down and brings you to your knees

so who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you
even in the dark, you know they all pretend

what if I say I'm not like the others
what if I'm not just another one
of your plays, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender


so who are you
yeah who are you
yeah who are you
yeah who are you...
