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
