Someone Else ? Lyrics - Promised Land - Queensryche

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 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. 

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?
