Shadows On The Wall

We look for the glimmer of hope
Some are looking for it still
They find it very hard to cope
Stripped of their own will

We sometimes face ourselves
Rising up, only to fall
Life is like keeping empty shelves
Talking to the shadows on the wall

Life really makes no sense
We try to figure it all out
Paying for it at our own expense
Never heard when we shout

Lonliness can be a curse
When no one heeds our call
Never getting better, only worse
Left talking to the shadows on the wall
