Stranded man has his back to the wall
As the shadows wander by
Fighting their view with the best of his knowledge
Keeping the change at bay
And as that dark end approaches and he sees no way out
He's gotta run and hide
Through those memories of kindness overrunning all of his blindness
That has brought him down
Oh he's such a lonely man once again
Oh and he takes each minute and he wastes it away
Take me down I need to find some way to grow
Well he says take me down I need to learn how to be a man
Well he says just take it away if I can't stand on my own ground
Take me down again
Oh oh oh oh
Standing all alone he feels the world on his back
Never the product of blame
Cuz his actions push away all those ones who never say
What is really going on
And his intentions are pure and true
And it's always been his need to survive
But his flaws only cause more pain and suffering
He can't let it go
Oh he's such a lonely man once again
Oh and he takes each minute and he wastes it away
Take me down I need to find some way to grow
Well he says take me down I need to learn how to be a man
Well he says just take it away if I can't stand on my own ground
Take me down again
Oh oh oh oh
