Sonata Arctica - Replica lyrics

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 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 steel

The kind of 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 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 dream a dream

I'm floating in the silent stream

No-one placing blame on me

But nothing's what it seems to be

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...
