It went so well for you 
With a place right where you wanted 
And the ones to fill it too 
But some blows break the spell 
That it hits you everyday 
Until you need to hit as well. 
It's just a shadow of the man you should be 
Like a garden in the forest 
That the world will never see 
You have no thought of answers 
Only questions to be filled 
And it feels like hell. 
It all seems fine for you 
Till the struggle of ambition turned in violence upon you 
Sometimes a landslide comes 
If you're hiding in that avalanche 
You need a place to run. 
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be 
Like a garden in the forest 
That the world will never see 
You have no thought of answers 
Only questions to be filled 
And it feels like hell. 
Did we ever have it good? While we lived in El Dorado 
Did we find the gold we should 
If it really was the truth 
Why are faces filled with anger 
That should only shine with youth. 
It's just a shadow of the people we should be 
Know there is no need for what's been done 
I know there is enough for everyone 
But frustration brings a heavy hand to bear 
And there never is a hand outside that cares 
Still the promise comes of living fit for it all 
If we only get our back against the wall 
I look at backs that push the wall for years 
Scarred by many knives and too much fear.
