The Pretender

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 at the 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?

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

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will 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?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Is someone?



I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I need somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?

I've got another confession, my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the
best of you?

Ermo

A companhia do desconhecido que não se importava com a minha presença me agradava. Uma poltrona vaga em cada lado e a minha era a única mão que tinha poder sobre os flocos amarelados pela manteiga, e os transportava, do pacote à boca, sem pressa, de modo a garantir que todos os ex-milhos fossem bem saboreados. As imagens iniciais da grande tela me deixaram animada e orgulhosa por ter estudado a matéria da última prova. O assunto era exatamente o mesmo, e essa cultura extra em relação aos demais rendia-me o ambiente ainda mais confortável.
A sessão terminou e caminhei pelos corredores vazios, decorados e sonorizados à noël, até chegar ao carro. Liguei o som abaixando uma fresta do vidro. Respirei fundo. Pensei neles. Sorri. E fui para casa.
