Shell Of A Fighter - No-Man

I dream of changes.

I change my dreams.

I feel so restless,

sometimes I get so mean.

why should I bother

finding the will,

when every movement I make

just seems like I’m standing still?

the shell of a fighter,

the shell of a man,

the weight of a lifetime —

waiting for your healing hands.

and still I rise,

and still I dream,

and still I feel,

and I wait.

why don’t you hold me

when I need you to?

why don’t you touch me

when I reach for you?

why don’t you hurt for me

like I do for you?

why don’t you dream of me —

dream like I’m dreaming of you?

the shell of a fighter

and still I rise,

and still I dream,

and still I feel,

and I wait.
