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 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, 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

Are you gonna leave me now?
When it is all over are you gonna leave me?
Is my world now over?

Rising from the place I've been
Trying to keep my home plate clean
Now I'm here and won't go back believe

I fall asleep and dream a dream
I'm floating in a silent stream
No-one placing blame on me
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 a replica of

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 a 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
