Built in Silence | The Shadows We Leave Behind

Описание: Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken]
Most people never meet the real you.
They meet the version you left behind.
A shadow on the wall…
A memory that stopped moving
while you kept walking.

[Hook]
They only know the shadow I left behind
Frozen in a moment somewhere in time
Talking like they know my whole design
But they only know the shadow I left behind
They hold that image like it’s still alive
Like I never changed, never survived
But life kept moving while they kept the sign
Of the shadow I left behind

[Verse 1]
People swear they know you from a chapter you outgrew
Talking to a ghost like the past is still you
Old conversations in a room that you left
But they still pointing at the chair like you never took a step
They hold a photograph inside their mind
Like a crime scene frozen in time
But you kept walking down a different street
While they arguing with footprints you don’t even see
You rebuilt quiet where nobody could watch
Every small decision stacking piece by piece
But they still calling out a name you shed
Like you owe the past a life sentence instead

[Hook]
They only know the shadow I left behind
Frozen in a moment somewhere in time
Talking like they know my whole design
But they only know the shadow I left behind
They hold that image like it’s still alive
Like I never changed, never survived
But life kept moving while they kept the sign
Of the shadow I left behind

[Verse 2]
Funny how a person becomes a rumor
When you stop performing the role they’re used to
They talk to the air where you used to stand
Like the silence owes them an explanation
But change happens slow and mostly alone
In quiet rooms nobody writes about
A thousand small turns nobody saw
Until the road behind you disappears somehow
So let them argue with the shape you were
Let them memorize the version that froze
You kept moving through unfamiliar nights
While they stayed talking to the ghost

[Bridge]
People don’t see the miles between who you were and who you are
They see the outline on the wall
And think it never moved.

[Final Hook]
They only know the shadow I left behind
A still frame locked inside their mind
They swear that image is the truth they find
But they only know the shadow I left behind
I kept walking, rewriting every line
While they debated yesterday’s design
Let them stay talking to the past they find
That’s just the shadow I left behind.

[Hook]
They only know the shadow I left behind
Frozen in a moment somewhere in time
Talking like they know my whole design
But they only know the shadow I left behind
They hold that image like it’s still alive
Like I never changed, never survived
But life kept moving while they kept the sign
Of the shadow I left behind
