So you gave me a home |
|
And you gave me a name |
|
And you told me, behave like the others |
|
Then you sent me to school |
|
Which was all about rules |
|
And I learnt to pretend |
|
And so I faked my way through school |
|
And now I faked my way to you |
|
In every face I look for signs of truth |
|
And when you cry I take your hand |
|
And when you rage I understand |
|
Look in my eyes |
|
I'm not like all the others |
|
It's time for you to discover |
|
Who I am becoming |
|
I may look like a man |
|
And talk like a man |
|
But I feel like a man undercover |
|
I don't feel real, I feel like a fake |
|
In a moment I'll break |
|
And so I'm prisoner to this guise |
|
I'm in for life, but what's my crime? |
|
I'm searching through my race to find |
|
Some long lost tribe long lost in time |
|
You fear that death will be th end |
|
I fear that we'll come back again |
|
I killed you once so let's pretend |
|
This time round we'll be good friends |
|
So I've been abuser and I've been abused |
|
I've been the Nazi and I've been the Jew |
|
I was the user and now I am used |
|
To recover those who wish to discover |
|
Who I am becoming. |
