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?
