I. SOMEONE LIKE HIM
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Content to live each day just like the last
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I was sure I knew that
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
This was not for me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And I wanted so much more
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Far beyond what I could see
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So I swore that I'd
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Never be someone like him
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So many years have passed
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Since I proclaimed
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
My independence
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
My mission
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
My aim
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And my vision
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So secure
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Content to live each day like it's my last
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
It's wonderful to know
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
That I could be
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Something more than what I dreamed
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Far beyond what I could see
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Still I swear that I'm
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Missing out this time
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
As far as I could tell
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
There's nothing more I need
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But still I ask myself
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Could this be everything
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Then all I swore
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
That I would never be was now
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So suddenly
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The only thing
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I wanted
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
To become
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
To be someone just like him
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
II. MEDICATE (Awakening)
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
A Doctor sitting next to me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He asks me how I feel
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Not sure I understand his questioning
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He says I've been away a while
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But thinks he has cured me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
From a state of catatonic sleep
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
For thirty years
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Where have I been
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Eyes open
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But not getting through to me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Medicate me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Infiltrate me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Side effects appear
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
As my conscience slips away
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Medicate me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Science failing
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Conscience fading fast
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Can't you stop what's happening
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
A higher dosage he prescribes
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But there's no guarantee
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I feel it starting to take over me
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I tell him not to be ashamed
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
There's no one who's to blame
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
A second shot, a brief awakening
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
