The Other Man

(album: A Scarcity Of Miracles - 2011)

He thought that he'd leave forever
(You'd never know, you'd never know)

Caught the wrong place
Lost in the snow

Some things survive
When all else is broken
Who'll understand such circumstance?
No one needs to know

Another piece of architecture falls and crumbles in the rain
Another revolution fails amidst the smoke and flames
We'll wonder if our memories erased

Like driftwood afloat at sea
Of turbulence and history
Dissidents and bigotry
Visions of what might have been
Drowning in a sea of dreams

My name is stolen
Nothing is true

It's the other man
I'm not the other man
You want the other man
It's been the other man

Keep hiding
Hiding away

Telling lies and building walls
Watch and wait for it to fall

Fall
