I see myself in their eyes
Like mirror glasses
And at last I know I can look at myself
Without wanting to be blind
Here I find
What I'm looking for
In the flashing lights
Before the camera's eye
I arise from the floor
And alive
More than ever before
The voices are quiet now
As if they've finally gone to sleep
Not hearing them calling I think I too
Will sleep without dreaming
For once, to become
The one and only
On top of the world
This is me – it has always been me
It's not me – not like this, not like this
I've turned away from the faces
To look into the one of the woman who loves me
She don't see me
But she can't see
Yet she knows me
And she's not running from me
There is blood in the world but it's not mine
There's a face in the mirror but it's not mine
I'm a freak
I can't speak
of the outstanding thing that is happening to me
Through the camera
The blood on the walls
And the woman so soft and tender to my skin
Now I scream as I fall through daybreak
The newspapers yell out my name
Keep calling me a shame
I'm not to blame, the world is evil
I know what I do
What I'm changing to
This is me – it has always been me
It's not me – not like this, it's not me
I'm running from the voices
I'm running from the shame
And they keep on calling my name
I'm what they fear
The ONE out there
I can see the terror in your eyes
Breaking through the walls of lies
But you don't owe me fear
You owe me AWE!
