Shadow Of A Man

Old Town behind us, I used to fly
Pour yourself a drink, that's when I slide
Always looking for another way out, never just at ease
When everybody settles down to revel, that's when I have to leave

Staring down forever feels like more than I can take

This is all I am, here in Everdene
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
But I've been holding on to everything as tightly as I can
Oh my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
And it's more than I can hold

I watch as they sit still with my green eyes
All that I wish that I could be makes me a liar
I'm moving like a snake among the weeds, why am I sly?
I will never know what it means for you and I

Staring down forever feels like more than I can take

This is all I am, here in Everdene
All I ever wanted was a reason to believe
But I've been holding on to everything as tightly as I can
Oh my God, I'm just a shadow of a man

'Cause I've stared over the edge and I've seen where it leads
God, what I would give, if I could only feel at ease
And I'm holding on too tight, take this cup out of my hands
Oh my God, I'm just a shadow of a man
And it's more than I can hold
More than I can hold

When it's quiet, when it's still, go easy if you can
Sometimes I thank God I'm just a shadow of a man
'Cause I've seen over the edge, there's reason to believe
I feel it pull too tight, wrap its arms around me
