(Verse 1) The mirror on the cell wall's made of steel Polished just enough so you can feel The stranger staring back at you With tired eyes of faded blue He wears my face, he knows my name He’s here to take all of the blame He nods along with what they said Replays the story in my head The open door, the falling snow... A flash of red, a final blow... (Chorus) Am I the Guilty? The one they see? The monster in the history? Or am I the Innocent? The boy inside? The one who swears he never lied? The slash between them is a blade A memory, a masquerade Guilty/Innocent, the line is blurred Which me is just a single word? (Verse 2) The Innocent remembers sun A summer race he almost won He remembers scraped up knees And whispering secrets to the trees He tastes the rain, he feels the cold He’s terrified of growing old He screams inside this concrete box Against the ticking of the clocks He says "That wasn't in my hands... "No one sees, no one understands..." (Chorus) Am I the Guilty? The one they see? The monster in the history? Or am I the Innocent? The boy inside? The one who swears he never lied? The slash between them is a blade A memory, a masquerade Guilty/Innocent, the line is blurred Which me is just a single word? (Bridge) The story's told so many times, the truth begins to rust My own mind's turning into dust Did I feel rage? Did I feel fear? The memory's no longer clear They built a man from bone and sin And now I have to live in him Which voice is mine when I'm alone? The one of flesh, or the one of stone? (Outro) Guilty... [A memory of a scream] Innocent... [A whisper of a name] Guilty... [The sound of breaking glass] Innocent... [The feeling of the rain] Guilty... Innocent... Guilty... Innocent... [The two words overlap and fade into a rhythmic, unintelligible whisper]
