Surrogate

I'm crawling back into the shadow where I've always been My life laid out before me, why do I pretend? I'm screaming out with all I have and still There's no one listening, no one hears me struggling In the wind the leaves have fallen But the fire's still ablaze There's a mesmerizing picture But all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for? Or is this a losing 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 mesmerizing picture But all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for? Or is this a losing 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 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 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 I walk alone again
