Living in the Shadow of a Terrible Thing - Therapy?

With heavy tread and treacle feet

I drag my baggage behind me

Everything’s absurd, everything feels strange

I experience time as a terrible ache

Alone and unnoticed on the busy street

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing

Windows shatter and alarm bells ring

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing

Halfway down the road I’ve lost all purpose

No Virgil at my side to guide and interpret

Darkness visible, failing light

I hurt in every inch of my lived life

Alone and unnoticed on the busy street

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing

Windows shatter and alarm bells ring

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing

Sinking slowly in this miasma

Too much hurt for my head to handle

Hanging on to hope and a handful of chances

Cause if you take away the future then the present collapses

Alone and unnoticed on the busy street

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing

Windows shatter and alarm bells ring

I’m living in the shadow of the terrible thing
