Shadow On The Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is more than spit & dust
It's shiny chrome collecting rust
Remembering when the lights would shine
Down Main St. doing 99
Times were good, but times get hard
Park you in the old junkyard
Well, young ones pass and their lights fall
On you, leaving a shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall
Am I spirit, am I dirt
When heart and soul can both be hurt?
Which is it now, can I choose
Can I win, can I help but lose?
Am I just dreaming again
Can I go out as whole as I came in?
When eternal light on me does fall
Am I more than just a shadow on the wall?
A shadow on the wall
You turn the corner, I don't follow
The street light proves that I'm not hollow
Is this a holy, mirrored hall
Or just a shadow on the wall?
Life is just a mockingbird
It laughs at screams that go unheard
It dances right above your head
And echoes dumb shit that you said
About the crazy times that you knew would end
The dreams that you once called your friends
You can't find the bird, but you hear its call
You know it's just a shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall
