Something That I'm Not - Live at Obras Sanitarias Stadium, Argentina, 2005
Your mind tells you that you've lost your confidence
You're drifting and you don't believe in anyone
To lose what little you have left to be proud of
Afraid you can't do this again, ahou
You said that nothing come in-between us
And the way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you under its influence
Until you compromised your style
Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now that the wells run dry? (Cry?)
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back
It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not
When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words, no one loves you very much
And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating you
Being a fraud can only last so long (you should know)
Until what you sensed as a child returns (you little baby)
To choke out the voice that told you, "money and the fame"
Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself
Unlike you, I'm no vision to myself, lest you forget
You didn't ever make metal, buddy, metal made you
To crush and run over everyone along the way
It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not
A stranger to yourself, ha! You pissed me off again
I won't be driven by your needs anymore
What you'd become to do or be is clear for me to see
It's something that you are
Something that I'm not
It makes me sick to hear you say you love me
I know you only love what I can do for you
If you were the one that was leading the charge
Would you notice if I missed a day or two? (But that's impossible!)
We all laughed at the parodies that you'd become
Now your pain slowly paid back has begun
So, accept my resignation, or in your words, "betrayal"
Before it gets much worse, end this self-sabotage
Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I am not
Something I'm not, something that you are
Ah, something I'm not, something that you are
Something that I'm not
Yet
You're drifting and you don't believe in anyone
To lose what little you have left to be proud of
Afraid you can't do this again, ahou
You said that nothing come in-between us
And the way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you under its influence
Until you compromised your style
Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now that the wells run dry? (Cry?)
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back
It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not
When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words, no one loves you very much
And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating you
Being a fraud can only last so long (you should know)

Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I am not
Something I'm not, something that you are
Ah, something I'm not, something that you are
Something that I'm not
Yet
