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
