lyrics

It looks like I’ve been identified
And told I could pass through the eye of a needle
So I tried
And there’s no word so violent
To describe the hands that reach out for a light in the darkness
And get denied

And if it’s proof you’re looking for
Some divine sign this is real
It’s just a song and nothing more
Just one turn of a spinning wheel

I could cry the sky to shame
Build a mountain in my name
But I promise I’d still be the same
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others

Hidden cameras
Well, they found me out
Deep in the part of the heart that wanders
Beyond the doubt
But in this room it’s silent, with no disguise
And nobody else to define what I’m feeling, or criticize

And if it’s proof you’re looking for
Some divine sign this is real
It’s just a song and nothing more
Just one turn of a spinning wheel

I could cry the sky to shame
Build a mountain in my name
But I promise I’d still be the same
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others

And yes, I tried
I tried to see the world through different eyes
Yeah, I tried
But I can’t fix what I can’t change
I’d just be the same

I could cry the sky to shame
Build a mountain in my name, but I —
But I promise I’d still be the same
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others
I’m not like the others
