[Verse 1] Red stripes flash black blur on the overpass Gunmetal boots on the cracked old glass I hit the ground like a falling star (yeah) Memory’s a maze in my bloodstream faces in the dark, can’t say what they mean Questions in a file marked “Classified” Every answer feels like another lie [Chorus] I’m the shadow you can’t outrun born from flames of a loaded gun Half of me’s rage, half of me’s regret chaos in my chest that I can’t forget Say my name when the sky turns red I’m the fear that’s under your bed Not hero, not villain, just alone instead I’m the shadow, I’m the shadow in your head [Verse 2] Steel city screams under neon rain sirens sing, but they all sound the same I saved the world, they erased my face Still, I carve my truth in the concrete veins Voices of ghosts in the transport ring “Fight for them” and “Burn everything” Flip that coin in the cold night air Two sides, one scar, and a thousand stares (hey!) [Chorus] I’m the shadow you can’t outrun born from flames of a loaded gun Half of me’s rage, half of me’s regret chaos in my chest that I can’t forget Say my name when the sky turns red I’m the fear that’s under your bed Not hero, not villain, just alone instead I’m the shadow, I’m the shadow in your head [Bridge] Who am I if the past got wiped? Just a weapon on legs or a life with a price? If I choose my path do I break their chains or burn this world just to numb my pain? (woah) [Chorus] I’m the shadow you can’t outrun born from flames of a loaded gun Half of me’s rage, half of me’s regret chaos in my chest that I can’t forget Say my name when the sky turns red I’m the fear that’s under your bed Not hero, not villain, till the day I’m dead I’m the shadow, I’m the shadow in your head
