Fed up knocked down

Withheld from everything that once was comfortable

Well so much for routine

You're weighed down, sinking

Swimming against the stream that once carried you home

Took you to the place where you belonged



I thought I heard you crying out

I thought I heard you say goodbye

It doesn't matter where you are, your shadow's right behind



You know your reflection doesn't lie

You see a tired face through sullen, sucken eyes

A portrait of regret

It won't let you forget

Still tangled in the net you thought you'd left behind

Just to find you can't run from yourself



You're wearing down but still the same

Dawn to dusk...day to day

You stagger on, shrouded in shame

Still haunted by shadows; they're calling your name



I thought I heard you reaching out

Grasping just to stay alive

Your shadow just gets longer as the sun falls from the sky
