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. 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
