Someone Else?

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
But if only for a while
I recognize the changes
I'd 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
Now here I stand at the crossroads edge
Afraid to reach out for eternity
One step then I look down
I see someone else not me
Looking back
Looking back and I see
Someone else

All my life they said I was going down
But I'm still standing
Strong and proud
And today I know
There's so much more I can be
I think I finally understand
Now here I stand at the crossroads edge
And there's the path leading out to sea
And from somewhere deep in my mind
Sirens scream 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
I keep looking back
On someone else
Me?
