Dawn to Dusk

Fed up, knocked down
Withdrawn from everything that once was comfortable
So much for routine
You're weighted down, sinking
Swimming against the stream that once carried you
Home, took you to the place where you belonged
I thought I heard you crying out
I thought I heard you say goodbye
It doesn't matter where you are
Your shadow is close behind

You know your reflection doesn't lie
You see a tired face through sullen, sunken eyes
A portrait of regret
It won't let you forget
Still tangled in the net you thought you'd left behind
Just to find you can't run from yourself

I thought I heard you crying out
I thought I heard you say goodbye
It doesn't matter where you are
Your shadow is close behind

You're wearing down, but still the same
Dawn to dusk..
Day to day
You stagger on, shrouded in shame
Still haunted by shadows
They're calling your name

I thought I felt you reaching out
Gasping just to stay alive
Your shadow just gets longer as the sun falls from the sky
