A shadow, a shadow, all there but not,
Faceless, face this with all you've got
All around the pillars continue to rise
The shadow held under their gazing eyes
All built up but empty inside
Never quite willingly along for the ride

Roam the streets, as to what they discarded
That shadow, against it all from when it started
Odd, odd, a shadow cast as an outcast
Dreams and illusions too distant to grasp
Alone then, travel on forward
A mind set with a goal to move toward
But the race never ends, there's more to be run
A shadow kept in the darkness and burned by the sun
Where to then, O shadow of mine?
What home will you ever find...
