Shadows Know My Name

Lyrics

[Verse 1] No medals on the table No headlines in the rain Every truth I ever carried Vanished with my name Silent corridors are calling Every door already wired Friends became forgotten faces Every file was set on fire [Pre-Chorus] They erase the hands that built the silence They remember only what survives I was never meant to be the hero Just the shadow in the frame [Chorus] Shadows know my name Shadows know my name I gave up tomorrow So the world could stay the same Shadows know my name Shadows know my name What they buried in me Still burns beneath the blame [Verse 2] Trading pieces of tomorrow For a light I never chose Every lie became a language Every secret cut me close I kept walking through the burning With a calm they couldn’t read If they stole the shape of my ending Then they missed the parts of me [Pre-Chorus] They erase the hands that built the silence They remember only what survives I was never meant to be the hero Just the shadow in the frame [Chorus] Shadows know my name Shadows know my name I gave up tomorrow So the world could stay the same Shadows know my name Shadows know my name What they buried in me Still burns beneath the blame [Bridge] Let them call it gone Let them call it dead I wore the disappearing Like a crown upon my head If the dust says nothing If the wound won’t heal I’ll be the last thing standing That they couldn’t make feel [Final Chorus] Shadows know my name Shadows know my name I gave up tomorrow So the world could stay the same Shadows know my name Shadows know my name What they buried in me Still burns beneath the blame Shadows know my name Shadows know my name And I’m more than what they kept In the dark behind the frame
