[Intro – Soft, Haunting Vocals] I was born where the light won’t reach, Where the walls learn how to breathe. Every promise, every lie, Turns to smoke behind my eyes. [Verse 1] City lights flicker like a warning sign, Gold on the towers, blood in the lines. Everybody’s dancing like the floor won’t break, Everybody’s smiling with a knife-shaped face. I keep hearing voices through the static glow, Telling me secrets that I shouldn’t know. Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m blessed, Maybe I’m only what the world made next. [Pre-Chorus] So don’t wake me up, I’m already gone. Don’t pray for me, I’ve been alone too long. If fear has a name, Then it sounds like mine. I learned to survive Where the sun don’t shine. [Chorus] I live in the shadows, Where the lonely hearts go. Where the beautiful burn, And the bitter ones grow. I live in the shadows, Where the truth gets cold. If you look too close, You might lose your soul. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I was never the villain you thought you knew. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I’m just what the darkness made me do. [Verse 2] Paint me a monster, hang me on the wall, Tell all the children I was born to fall. But you built the cage and you locked the door, Then blamed me for wanting something more. I saw heaven through a cracked machine, Saw angels starving on a silver screen. Love is a weapon when the world goes numb, And mercy don’t answer where I come from. [Pre-Chorus] So don’t wake me up, I’m already gone. Don’t reach for me, I’ve been down too long. If pain has a voice, Then it sings like mine. I learned how to breathe Where the stars don’t shine. [Chorus] I live in the shadows, Where the lonely hearts go. Where the beautiful burn, And the bitter ones grow. I live in the shadows, Where the truth gets cold. If you look too close, You might lose your soul. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I was never the villain you thought you knew. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I’m just what the darkness made me do. [Post-Chorus – Chant / Album Hook] In the sha-a-a-dows, We don’t sleep, we don’t let go. In the sha-a-a-dows, Hearts beat loud when the lights go low. In the sha-a-a-dows, Tell me who you become When the night calls home. [Bridge – Emotional Breakdown] I wanted light, but it cut too deep, I wanted peace, but it ran from me. I wanted love, but it came with teeth, Now there’s nothing left underneath. Can you hear me now? Can you see my face? Or am I just another scar This city can erase? [Final Chorus – Bigger / Cinematic] I live in the shadows, Where the lonely hearts go. Where the beautiful burn, And the bitter ones grow. I live in the shadows, Where the truth gets cold. If you look too close, You might lose your soul. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I was never the villain you thought you knew. Oh-oh, oh-oh, I’m just what the darkness made me do. [Outro – Soft / End Credits] I was born where the light won’t reach, Where the walls learn how to breathe. If you hear me when the lights go low… Don’t follow me In the shadows.
