I touch your hand

It's not my hand you feel

It's the touch of another man

It's the touch of a dangerous time

It's the blow that leaves no trace

It's the face of the perfect crime



Mistaken identity

I am not the man

Look at my face

I am not the man



I whisper your name

It's not my voice you hear

It's the voice of the waking dead

It's the father of original sin

It's the brother of unlocked doors

It's the lover of broken skin



Mistaken identity

I am not the man

Look at my face

I am not the man



Sunlight filters through the leaves

A breeze blows the curtains wide

Children play across the street

And I am by your side

But I get confused

And I am frightened too

Am I the beast in the shadow

Or am I here with you



Mistaken identity

I am not the man

Look at my face

Please take this boy for who I am



Can we lay down this fear and love each other

Can we lay down this fear and love each other

Can we lay down this fear and love each other

Can we lay down this fear
