Someone Else? (With Full Band) - Queensrÿche Written by:De Luca Tom/Tate John Daniel/Barker Nick 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
