It went so well for you
|
With a place right where you wanted and the ones to fill it to
|
But some blows break the spell
|
That it hits you every day until you need to hit as well
|
|
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
|
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
|
You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
|
And it feels like hell
|
|
It all seemed fine for you
|
Till the struggle of ambition turned in violence upon you
|
Sometimes a landslide comes
|
If you're hiding in that avalanche you need a place to run
|
|
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be
|
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
|
And you have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
|
And it feels like hell
|
|
I know there is no need for what's been done
|
I know there is enough for everyone
|
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
|
And there's never been a hand
|
|
Did we ever have it good
|
While we lived in Eldorado did we find the gold we should
|
If it really was the truth
|
Why are faces filled with anger that should only shine with youth
|
|
It's just a shadow of the people we should be
|
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
|
You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled
|
And it feels like hell
|
|
I know there is no need for what's been done
|
I know there is enough for everyone
|
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
|
And there never is a hand outside that cares
|
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
|
If we only get our back against the wall
|
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
|
Scarred by many knives and too much fear
|
