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
Iâm not like all the others
Itâs 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 donât feel real, I feel like a fake
In a moment Iâll break
And so Iâm prisoner to this guise
Iâm in for life, but whatâs my crime?
Iâm 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 weâll come back again
I killed you once so letâs pretend
This time round weâll be good friends
So Iâve been abuser and Iâve been abused
Iâve been the Nazi and Iâve been the Jew
I was the user and now I am used
To recover those who wish to discover
Who I am becoming.
