Someone New

from Copacetic by Meteor Street

lyrics

I'm in a preparatory state
And I'm running out of days
Waiting for real life to start
And is it strange so very strange
That I am let down
When I'm face to face with the One

And they're as holy as I feared
Narrowing it down
The world that once opened up to me
But I've felt deep down
That the infinity of darkness is a comforting thing

And who's to say this isn't real
This in-between place, this mirror and my face don't match
Up quite like they used to
So let's assume I'm growing old
And not becoming someone new

I haven't been a kid since the age of forty-five
I aged the moment they told me
That some things weren't meant to fly
But I can't say they were wrong
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, only falling stars around me in the dust
I find the pieces I can't pick up
They're puzzle shaped and I don't want to know
What they're trying to spell out for me
I'll never be ready
To read the words, which she once wrote:
A product, an effigy

And who's to say this isn't real
This in-between place, this mirror and my face don't match
Up quite like they used to
So let's assume I'm growing old
And not becoming someone new

And how can I ever know what I am?
If I'm never tested or stripped down for parts?
It's not as though I can simulate the coming of the end
Don't know if in my marrow I wouldn't push them off the cliff

And who's to say this isn't real
This in-between place, this mirror and my face don't match
Up quite like they used to
So let's assume I'm growing old
And not becoming someone new

And in the street side symphony
I can pretend I'm the conductor
And everyone's answering to me
Though one day that might be real
For now I'm content,
Well I can't imagine anything else
