Gone Man - Wrong Man
Verse 1
I see on the news a man is on the run
Wanted for breaking and entering
It’s just another story that’s homespun
The sun flashes on the plane above
are they filming me?
In the mirror, face is unfamiliar
And I ask him what have I done wrong?
Verse 2
I may be called a misfit but I’m really very kind
It’s just these stories that keep playing in my mind
The doctors tell me my head’s not right
Voices chase me through the endless night
I’m a scaredy cat up a tree,
an unknown sailor lost at sea
and I try to hide that I’m running scared
Chorus
I am the Wrong Man
Can’t you help me find the key?
I feel so out of tune, but its time that I was on the move
Now I am a Gone Man
Now I am the Wrong Man
Bridge
I want the voices to say nice things to me
To unlock my mind and set me free
Instead they feed me pills that shut me down
leave me frozen with no feeling
so I stare at patterns on the ceiling
like tracks in the snow leading nowhere
Chorus
Verse 3
Thrown out with the trash, and left a bloody stain
Now I’m running hard for the southbound train
I changed the colour of my hair
From flaming red to golden fair
Now I speak with a different voice,
needed to change, had no choice
then I go online to buy a new ID,
I have to have a new… personality
Chorus
