Pale Forest - Mistaken Identity lyrics

rate me

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 ...
