Queensryche - Someone Else? 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 I know now who I am If only for a while I recognize the changes I feel like I did before the Magic wore thin and the "baptism Of stains" began 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 crossroads edge Afraid to reach out for eternity One step, when I look down I see someone else not me 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 crossroads 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?
