Fighting My Own Shadow
Feel like a house of cards,
Caught in a hurricane
A sand castle threatened
By an oncoming tidal-wave
This soul danced among clouds,
It's learning now to crawl
Fighting my own shadow
…I'm weary of it all
Invincible? - It' a myth
That took me by surprise
Fighting my Own Shadow
…Facing down a Lie
Defeat was foreign to me
Nothing could bring me down
Brilliant blues…gleaming greens
Morphing into…gravel grayish brown
This soul danced among clouds,
It's learning now to crawl
Fighting my own shadow
…I'm weary of it all
Invincible? - It' a myth
That took me by surprise
Fighting my Own Shadow
…Facing down a Lie
*instrumental*
Just a jar full of pieces
Jagged fragments that remind
Mosaic picture, someday?
Not in this frame of mind
Desperate for Deliverance
(Come, before I cave!)
Fighting my own shadow
Wondering what's left to save
O, help me
