some other life

a song my bro and i wrote

There's a man in the mirror

and I can't hear what he says

I wish I could read his lips

when he says nothing

I can see the pain drain from his face

See the confused look in his eyes

he just doesn't know where he's going

he has no clue what to do

doesn't know what he's doing

He might as well be blind I'd say

(chorus)

I can see the pain

drain from his face

there are many things

that make him play

which turns to others as insanity

He's playing lifes game

of not knowing who he is

but maybe someday he'll wake up and learn

why life was so complicated

And he'll realize he was going the wrong way

He's rolling the dice

for what could be

his very last turn

maybe he'll be free

and not trapped behind his own reflection

(chorus)

I can see the pain

drain from his face

there are many things

that make him play

which turns to others as insanity

some day some how

maybe he will know

somewhere right now

he has to step away

some day some how

mayb he'll know how

somewhere right now

he's stuck and has to stay

looking in the mirror he realized

he was looking back at himself
