Shadow

Shadow

Verse 1
I see you standing in front of me,
I hear you breathing.
Evidence that should tell me there’s a life before me.

But I can’t feel you here,
I can see you’re not listening,
Your eyes hold a faraway, broken stare,
Where are you?
Can you take me there?

Chorus
A shadow,
A shell of a life,
Broken down and torn to pieces,
Can’t see past the strife.

I’m calling on angels,
I’m calling on my own strength,
I know I can’t save you,
But I can’t let you die.
A shadow.

Verse 2
Flip-turn,
Who is this man before me?
Everything he’s saying contradicts nearly everything you are.
You’re yearning for love,
I see it in your pain.
(and I want to give it to you)
This man claims it doesn’t exist,
Life is just a game no one can win.
Who are you?
Are you going to let him win?

(chorus)
Verse 3
Tossed to the ground,
You’ve let life defeat you.
Where is your will to fight?

Life is beautiful,
Life is tragic,
Life was meant to be lived.

Wake up,
Be who you really are.
Abandon this….

Chorus 2
Shadow,
This shell of a life,
You’re broken down so sweep up the pieces and see past the strife,

The angels are here and my arms are open,
Borrow their wings and fly.
I know only you can save yourself,
But I can’t just let you die,
A shadow.
