Unfamiliar

I came into this world an unmarked page
 But I've stained the paper with lines that I cannot erase
 Discarded my identity
 A fragment of what I used to be
 An iron mind in paper walls
 Is not a stable foundation in this ongoing storm
 And now these hands of stone have eroded (eroded)
 Collapsed again
 I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
 Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
 Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
 Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
 No retribution, no compromise
 Selfishly self-immolating inside
 Burn, burn me alive, I've seen the other side
 Burn me, set me alight
 I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
 Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
 Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
 Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
 Takes a part of me
 ♪
 I can't deny this feeling, I can't ignore the pain
 Of knowing I am human, and we all feel the fucking same
 We're all born to feel this way
 ♪
 So I ask myself
 Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth
 Contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works?
 My motivations have never strayed
 But somewhere I think they were buried along the way
 I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
 Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
 Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
 Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
 I've seen the other side
