Lyric Replica

(Lyrics by Tony Kakko)

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...
