Tired

Livin in the shadow cast,
by the shadow which prevails,
and soon he dissapears.
Like the ashes of a glorious fire,
burnt to a carbon heart,
he stands there like a trophy unmarked.
And there I saw him,
naked was his soul...
I wanna be him,
once before I go.
He takes a step back and takes a glance,
but the days he sees lack romance, lack the values and the
virtues he seeks.
Twists his head and he breaks his neck,
life has fallen in a wreck, take me away before I break.
But don't give up,
don't give in,
Life's just about to begin.
