Shadow of a Selfish Man

Yeah, he's ridin' tall, thinkin' he's got it all

But he's blind to the pain, never sees the fall

He wakes up in a mansion, thinks he owns the day

Uses words like weapons, throws 'em just to push away

People standin’ in his shadow, call him king of the hill

But behind the curtain, he's just empty still

He’s got a mirror, don’t see the truth

Lost in his reflection, lost in his youth

He’s told the world to step aside

But he's blind ‘cause he’s been so self-assigned

Oh, selfish heart, you’re burnin’ bright

Crashin’ through, never see the light

The world owes you nothin’ at all

You're just a shadow, about to fall

Controls the game, manipulates the weak

Wants everything, but never seeks to speak

Treats the love like a pawn in his hand

Doesn’t care, he’s got his own master plan

He’s got a mirror, don’t see the truth

Lost in his reflection, lost in his youth

He’s told the world to step aside

But he's blind ‘cause he’s been so self-assigned

Oh, selfish heart, you’re burnin’ bright

Crashin’ through, never see the light

The world owes you nothin’ at all

You're just a shadow, about to fall

And someday the stars will forget his name

Dust in the wind, lost in the flame

Maybe then he’ll finally see

The world’s been waitin' patiently

So here’s to the lonely, prideful soul

Lost in his hunger, forever a hole

The world moves on, leave him behind

He’s just a story, a bitter kind
