I
by maniac
info

I
identify with the men who kill
and the men who die -
with Billy the Kid and the wand'ring Jew;
with those who rape and torture you.
I see through eyes to a new reality,
lose control of my faith and sanity,
see the world as it's never been seen -
your life and death are part of MY dream.
You hate, despise me,
spit in my face;
fear me, wish you were in my place.
I am the man you want to be,
you look inside you and you see me.
You turn away, your shame burns deep,
i am the shadow which haunts your sleep,
the truth which you identify,
the truth which says that you are I.
