I know you like me
But I thought you should know
I'm not a man
Just a shadow
Shadow of a man

Before you I stand
***** like a man
Leather and spikes
A hard *** who rides bikes
But I'm just a
Shadow of man

I might look whole and real
But behind eyes of blue steel
I'm just ethereal
A ghost who can't feel
Forever ******
To be a shadow of a man

We can talk about things
Work and music and who sings
That song
You know the one
But I'm not
The one you seek
Just to **** weak
I cannot show you how I feel
Because I'm not really real
I'm doing all I can
But I'm just a shadow of a man

Maybe someday I’ll be real
Let myself feel
Love
And the things I deny
Like me
And a You
I’m an apparition it seems
In both our dreams
I’m a homeless man
Who cannot beg for change
I’m really quite deranged
Just a shadow of a man
