Timeless Towns and Haunted Places

(Nutra Stick Productions, 2003)

Shadow Caster

 


It’s an ugly little sight
When you fall from a building
And see everybody else’s lives
Flash before your eyes

It was quite an ugly game
When your hands moved light to look like fame
But made all the buried dreams you had
Meaningless as your life

You still think of the story
That you told of upcoming glory
Before no one came to share your light
Or shine a little on

Oh, and then you disappeared
I can recall it so clearly

When your three friends saw you that night
They did not find you well
The shadow caster looked for light
And found a fiery hell

You got into a fist fight
It was clear that you’d been drinking
And that everything was all your fault
And all useless lies

It’s an ugly little sight
When you fall from a building
And see everybody else’s lives
Flash before your eyes
