We're the children of Babylon
Our empires have come and gone
Dreaming of the day that we could all just live as one
Everyone I ever knew and everyone I ever loved
Are lost in time like tears in rain

Now hold my hand, and feel the pain
And the love, and the hate
And the things that it takes
To make a monster just like me

I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am

It's easy to destroy what we make, we create
To escape the horrors of this life
Then you realize that everything is not exactly what it seems
To be in your mind

Now hold my hand, and feel the pain
And the love, and the hate
And the things that it takes
To make a monster just like me

I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am

I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am, you think I am
I'm not the person that you think I am
