Replica

Sonata Arctica

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind

your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the

meaning of it all. Remember me? Before the war.

I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...



As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of

what I used to be. It's easier if you don't see me

standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit

here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.

They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets

cannot see



Nothing's what it seems to be,

I'm a replica, I'm a replica

Empty shell inside of me

I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...



The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill

the hole in me. I had no name, last December,

Christmas

Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw

your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,

I wish I had stayed home instead.



Nothing's what it seems to be,

I'm a replica, I'm a replica

Empty shell inside of me

I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...



Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over

Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...



Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep

my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back

believe.



I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a

silent dream. No-one placing blame on me

But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah.



Nothing's what it seems to be,

I'm a replica, I'm a replica

Empty shell inside of me

I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...
