Queensryche - Someone Else? Lyrics
When i fell from grace i never realizedHow deep the flood was around meA man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boilAnd the water left these scars on meThe chains i wore were mine, dragging me towards my fatePlanned for me long agoI played by all their rules, went to their right schoolsWho was i to question?They used to say i was nowhere manHeading down was my destinyBut yesterday i swear that wasSomeone else not meHere i stand at the crossroad's edgeAfraid to reach out for eternityOne step when i look downI see someone else, not meI know now who i am, if only for awhileI recognize the changesI feel like i did, before the magic wore thinAnd the baptism of stains beganSacrifice, the always say... is a sign of nobilityBut where does one draw the line in the face of injury?I'm just trying to understandStanding here at the crossroad's edgeLooking down at what i used to beA drowning man, trying to stay afloatHeavy with the past, but somehow keeping hopeThat there's something more that is seenBut it's somewhere out of reachSo i keep looking backLooking back and i see someone elseAll my life they said i was going downBut i'm still standing stronger proudAnd today i know, there's so much more i can beI think i finally understandFrom where i stand at the crossroad's edgeThere's a path leading out to seaAnd from somewhere deep in my mindSirens sing out loud, songs of doubt, as only they know howBut one glance back reminds and i seeSomeone else, not me.I keep looking back at someone else... me?
