The Shadow of the Man

My heartbeat, this burning flame
Pressed close together one to tame
I'm reaching out, your pushing in
Impact is imminent again

Breathe in this paper dream
Burn now in nightmares oh it seems
I'm falling fast, Your hands are tight
Impact is imminent tonight

The road to hell is paved with my intentions
I wear a crown of thorns upon my eyes

I'm in deep the rivers run
So now the torment has begun
I'm looking out, your staring in
Impact is all we have "my friend"

Bite down, thin air surrounds
Just close your eyes and make no sound
Still reaching out, your pushing through
Impact is all we ever knew

The road to hell is paved...

I live in the shadow of the man
And he touched me with his hands
I live in the shadow of the man
And I do the best I can
I live in the shadow of the man
And I try to understand
I live in the shadow of the man
And I do the best I can
