The Other Man

I remember a time before

But life got in the way

Still the future was written in the stars

Then the circumstances changed again

And I was on my own

No solution, I wallow in my shame

I am blinded by this paradise that I’m living

A fantasy I create

I’m no more than the other man

The other man

The illusions of reality have me jaded

There’s nothing upon my plate

I’m no more than the other man

The other man

Accusations of who and why

And what is left to do

Don’t get in my way, I’ll blame it all on you

Each night I rest my head

Conceiving thoughts I try to understand

My solutions are all written in the sand

I am blinded by this paradise that I’m living

A fantasy I create

I’m no more than the other man

The other man

The illusions of reality have me jaded

There’s nothing upon my plate

I’m no more than the other man

Moments of rage lead me astray

And then I try to ease my mind

It’s been tearing me apart for so long

Trials by fire should take me higher

But I carry on, a wayward son

I’m holding out for you

Holding out for you

I am blinded by this paradise that I’m living

A fantasy I create

I’m no more than the other man

The other man

The illusions of reality have me jaded

There’s nothing upon my plate

I’m no more than the other man

The other man

I’m no more that the other man

Still the future is written in the stars

The other amn

Then this world came along

And took it all away

Now I wallow in my shame

No solution to gain

The other man

I remember...

I remember...

I remember...
