Waiting, working, watching as the world passed him by
The Imitator looks up, he has a blank stare his eye
He is a young man who needs his buttered bread
There's nothing he won't do and there's not much he has said
But there's a time and a place when a boy awakes
He rips off the blindfold if that's what it takes
He cannot look back
He cannot look back
And save himself
He knows which road to take, don't know the name of any street
You'll find not a drop of sweat, he can take the heat
But The Imitator can still find his way to tears
If he thinks that's you want he can mime what he hears
He sails up the road with the windows rolled down
He'll search for answers in another town
He cannot look back
He cannot look back
And save himself
When the sun comes up it will be too late
Everything will already be done, he leaves nothing to fate
Some things are best left in his head
Other things are best left unsaid
He knows nothing has changed, but nothing is the same
And we have nobody left but ourselves to blame
He cannot look back
He cannot look back
And save himself
And save himself
