[Verse 1]
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...

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Are you gonna leave me now?
When it is all over
Are you gonna leave me?
Is my world now over?

[Bridge]
Rising from the place I've been
Trying to keep my home plate clean
Now I'm here and won't go back believe
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
