Every now and again
A thought comes creeping in
Is it worth it all?
There's so much of the story
That I've never told and it feels so cold

With this shadow of a life
It's hard to breathe
I still need you here to help me see
My reflection in the mirror, who could this be?
These fames and riches, what they've done to me
Because everyday in every way
There's someone who needs me
Outside of my own shadow

The word that came today
That all my friends, they went away
No one here to stand beside me
Save me from them or watch me bleed

Bring on your words
Bring on the poisons too
Bring on the knife that pierces through my veins
Bring on the pain
Bring on the hardships too
Bring on your flames that burn me at the stake

And all I need is to see you breathe
And all I want is for you to fight with me
It's been so hard, it's been so long
And all I want is for you to let me again

With this shadow of a life
It's hard to breathe
I sill need you here to help me see
My reflection in the mirror, who could this be?
These fames and riches, what they've done to me
Because everyday in every way
There's someone who needs me
Outside of my own shadow
