Surrogate

I'm crawlin' back into the shadow where I've always been

My life laid out before me, why do I pretend?

I'm screamin' out with all I have and still there's no one listenin'

No one hears me strugglin'

In the wind, the leaves have fallen

But the fire's still ablaze

There's a mesmerizin' picture

But all you see's the frame

Do we fight for what we stand for

Or is this a losin' game?

Here I am

Like a ghost among the men

And here I stand

I walk alone again

You talk in whispers but I hear exactly what you say

There was a time I'd listen, now I'm not afraid

Behind these empty accusations there's a life here for me

Some day you'll see it's just a name

In the wind, the leaves have fallen

But the fire's still ablaze

There's a mesmerizin' picture

But all you see's the frame

Do we fight for what we stand for

Or is this a losin' game?

Here I am

Like a ghost among the men

And here I stand

I walk alone again

I walk alone again

I walk alone again

I walk alone again

I walk alone

After all I still face this judgement

But they'll swallow their pride tonight

And feast on some other soul

Yet I still haven't won the fight

This memory that I've been trapped with

I won't let it all define me

As the frame starts to break me away

Will I pray for judgement day?

Here I am

Like a ghost among the men

And here I stand

I walk alone again

Alone again (And here I stand)

I walk alone again
