I was the boy unwanted, a prisoner I´m born to them My brother was the one that couldn´t do no wrong And I was there dying in the shadow of him
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy? Feel the strap ´cross my back Yeah, I´m the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees (Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees
Oh, I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head And I can´t rest, they scare me to death But if I´m not alive, how can I be dead?
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap ´cross my back Yeah, I´m the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees (Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees Oh, why me? The mirror Why him Can you tell me? It´s confession again?
Come talk to me, I see in your eyes Titanic misery, ashamed that you´re alive
I´m the face that you see When the face isn´t yours I´m the mirror, my boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees (Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe (Who am I?) ´Cause I´m the boy only the mirror sees
Some people never go crazy What truly boring lives they must lead
Is there a love to shelter me? Only love, love set me free Is there a love to shelter me? Only love, love set me free
