Replica

I'm home again, I won the war
And now I am behind your door
I tried so hard to obey the law
And see the meaning of this 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
When 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 heart of steel
The kind them bullets cannot see, 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
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 the rain
I painted all your pictures 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 dreamed a dream
I'm floating in the silent stream
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
Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm replica
Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm a replica
Nothing's what it seems to be
I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm replica of me
I'm home again, I won the war
And now I am behind your door
I tried so hard to obey the law
And see the meaning of it all
Remember me?
Before the war
I'm the man who lived
