We built our cities on the earth we borrowed,
Tore down the trees, replaced them with sorrow.
We chase the light, but drown in the dark,
Hiding the truth, afraid of the spark.
We tell ourselves it's all just a game,
But the shadows grow, we all play the same.
We're shadows in the sun, burning up while we run,
Fooling the world with lies, just to say that we've won.
We hide behind the gold, let our hearts grow cold,
But in the end, we're just shadows growing old.
We turn on each other, seeking to rise,
Trading our souls for glittering lies.
The truth gets buried, deep in the sand,
While we destroy what we don't understand.
We tell ourselves it's all just a game,
But the cracks reveal, we're all to blame.
We're shadows in the sun, burning up while we run,
Fooling the world with lies, just to say that we've won.
We hide behind the gold, let our hearts grow cold,
But in the end, we're just shadows growing old.
We fight for the power, we hunger for fame,
But what's left of us when we're lost in the flame?
The earth we ignored, the love we denied,
Now we stand alone, with no place to hide.
We're shadows in the sun, burning up while we run,
Fooling the world with lies, just to say that we've won.
We hide behind the gold, let our hearts grow cold,
But in the end, we're just shadows growing old.
Shadows in the sun...
Shadows in the sun...
In the end, we're all just shadows in the sun.
