Shadow of a Man

Haunts my every step
Behind me where I stand
I’m a stranger to myself
A mere shadow of a man
Blinking in the torchlight
Holding fingers to my eyes
Another midnight escapade
Another guy, the wrong size
Hang around the neighborhood
Watch my boy at play
See myself in miniature
All my mistakes wiped away
He doesn’t know me anyway
With my broken open face
Rooted to the spot right here
Falling into my own space
Haunts my every step
Behind me where I stand
I’m a stranger to myself
A mere shadow of a man
My room is like a negative
That’s on a strip of film
I huddle in the corner
And this time is killing
He doesn’t know me anyway
With my broken, open face
Rooted to the spot right here
Falling into my own space
I hang around the neighborhood
Watch my boy at play
See myself in miniature
All my mistakes wiped away
Get behind me
Get behind me
I hang around the neighborhood
Watch my boy at play
See myself in miniature
All my mistakes wiped away
He doesn’t know me anyway
With my broken, open face
Rooted to the spot right here
Falling into my own space
Haunts my every step
Behind me where I stand
I’m a stranger to myself
Mere shadow of a man
Haunts my every step
Behind me where I stand
I’m a stranger to myself
A mere shadow of a man
