Shadow Man
To look at me you would never see
The emptiness inside
I talk and smile but all the while--I hide
Within the shadows I can breath
The stagnant air of gloom
Although it's true that I'm alive
My life is but a tomb
I welcome death
Embrace the pain
There is no hope
Nothing to gain
An empty shell
That's all I am
Although I seem to be alive and well
I am just a shadow man
You look at me but when you see
You turn your eyes away
It's hard to face the bitter taste
Of ultimate decay
But on this crazy carousel
We wind up where we've been
Encompassing futility
The afterbirth of sin
I welcome death
Embrace the pain
There is no hope
Nothing to gain
An empty shell
That's all I am
Although I seem to be alive and well
I am just a shadow man
There is no meaning--I don't care
Nothing matters–I don't care
I welcome death
Embrace the pain
There is no hope
Nothing to gain
An empty shell
That's all I am
Although I seem to be alive and well
I am just a shadow man
