Here comes that old feeling again,
My heart feels as black as the night.
Although the reasons they're not quite the same,
Something inside ain't feeling right.

Maybe its the feeling that life's just not fair,
Or that I've lost control of what was mine.
Anger arises as I swing into the air,
At nothing, nothing in the night.

(Chorus)
And I'm swinging at shadows.
Yeah I'm swinging at shadows.
Lashing out, but never finding peace.
Is there someone to blame?
Is there anyone responsible?
Or is it just me.......
Swinging at shadows.

Whoever said that life would go my way,
Although I've tried to what's right by all.
Seems I can't win and that life is getting harder,
I fear I'm headed for a fall.

Maybe its the feeling that life's just not fair,
Or that I've lost control of what was mine.
Anger arises as I swing into the air,
At nothing, nothing in the night.

(Chorus)
And I'm swinging at shadows.
Yeah I'm swinging at shadows.
Lashing out, but never finding peace.
Is there someone to blame?
Is there someone responsible?
Or is it just me.......
Swinging at shadows.

(Musical Bridge)

(Chorus)
And I'm swinging at shadows.
Yeah I'm swinging at shadows.
Lashing out, but never finding peace.
Is there someone to blame?
Is there someone responsible?
Or is it just me.......
Swinging at shadows.
Yeah I think it's just me....
Swinging at shadows.
