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
