Shadows Songtext
von Adam Holmes

So you say you′re falling to pieces now
Your wife has left you and she took away the kids
Say the drink is all that you're needing now
A half a can of Tennent′s in the fridge
You haven't shaved for a week or changed your clothes
What you've spent has taught you nothing′s free

And I can′t bear to listen to excuses
From a shadow where a man's supposed to be

You wear suits to church on Sunday mornings
Even though you know you don′t believe
Losing faith but you've all that you′re needing now
Gather it and use it as you please
Awkward silence fills a crowded room
You would understand if you were me


And I can't even hold a conversation
With a shadow where a man′s supposed to be

Maybe work is all that you're waking for
Always on the wrong side of the bed
They have taken the fire from your raging eyes
Misery's running through your head
Making your decisions and your choice with made-up minds
You′ve no room for positivity

And I can′t bear to listen to excuses
From a shadow where a man's supposed to be
Making your decisions and your choice with made-up minds
You′ve no room for positivity

And I can't even hold a conversation
You′re a shadow of the man you used to be
You're a shadow of the man you used to be
