Mistaken Identity Lyrics

Mistaken Identity lyrics

Son, it's never as it seems 

the flowing of the silver streams 

Where people laugh and smile and say 

no day is as beautiful as today 



I wear the mask of perfection 

whenever their heads turn my way 

Clutched in the embrace of rejection 

in a room where I must stay 



In hiding 

It's where I keep my dreams alive 

residing 

It's the only place where I can survive 



Even my mother never knew 

that the face she saw was never true 

In my room there lives no friend 

for whom I must pretend 



My gleaming mask upon inspection 

is where a hundred diamonds lay 

and no one sees the true reflection 

where every stone is grey 



In hiding 

It's where I keep my dreams alive 

subsiding 

to my place in their hive ...
