Someone Else (full band) Lyrics

When I fell from grace
I never realized
How deep the flood was around me
A man whose life was toil
was like a kettle left to boil
And the water left these scars on... me
The chains I wore were mine,
dragging me towards my fate
Planned for me long ago

I played by all their rules,
went to their right schools
Who was I to question?

They used to say I was nowhere man
Heading down was my destiny
But yesterday, I swear that was
someone else not me

Here I stand at the crossroad's edge
Afraid to reach out for eternity
One step when I look down
I see someone else, not me

I know now who I am,
if only for awhile
I recognize the changes
I feel like I did,
before the magic wore thin
And the baptism of stains began
Sacrifice,
the always say...
is a sign of nobility
But where does one draw the line
in the face of injury?

I'm just trying to understand

Standing here at the crossroad's edge
Looking down at what I used to be
A drowning man,
trying to stay afloat
Heavy with the past,
but somehow keeping hope
That there's something more that is seen
But it's somewhere out of reach

So I keep
looking back
Looking back and I see
someone else
All my life they said I was going down
But I'm still standing
stronger, proud

And today I know,
there's so much more I can be
I think I finally understand

From where I stand at the crossroad's edge
There's a path leading out to sea
And from somewhere deep in my mind
Sirens sing out loud,
songs of doubt,
as only they know how
But one glance back reminds and I see
Someone else,
not me.

I keep looking back
at someone else...
...me?
