Lyrics

I know that pain
Is temporary
But it doesn't go away
If you don't deal with it
It's hard to face
Worse still to embrace
When you know you're life won't ever be the same
Pupils dilate
All doubts erased
What does this mean
What does this mean
Will I ever find my inner peace
Cause I'm scared of who I am
A reflection I don't understand
I keep on asking who's the man
Beneath my skin
Have I become my disguise
It's not a face I recognise
Am I even weeping through my eyes
Am I here
Am I here
I can't change
My DNA
Ignorance is bliss
But I can't turn on the switch again
The fear and shame pulse through my veins
What does this mean
What does this mean
I'd rather lead myself astray
And hope denial numbs the pain
Cause I'm scared of who I am
A reflection I don't understand
I keep on asking who's the man
Beneath my skin
Have I become my disguise
It's not a face I recognise
Am I even weeping through my eyes
Am I here
Am I
Wait a minute
Don't let anybody in
I'm sinking
I never learnt how to swim
I never learnt how to swim
Oh feels like I'm crash landing
But I don't know that I've hit
A false premise
That I've lived my life with
Oh who could ever love a man like me
I've never felt so insecure
But now I'm certain of the cause
and terrified that it defines me
Cause I'm scared of who I am
A reflection I don't understand
I keep on asking who's the man beneath my skin
(I don't understand)
Have I become my disguise
It's not a face I recognise
(I don't understand)
Am I even weeping through my eyes
Am I here
Am I here?
Cause I'm scared of who I am
I'm reaching out please take my hand
I'm always asking who's the man beneath my skin
