Shadow of Goodness (2 ver.)

Verse 1

Beneath the halo's fading glow

I carved my name in borrowed sin

The mirror showed a saint I know

But something darker lives within

Pre-Chorus

Every prayer I whispered turned to ash

Every kindness wore a hollow mask

Chorus

I am the shadow of goodness

The faithful turned away (turned away)

I am the wound that keeps on bleeding

Where the light refused to stay

The shadow of goodness

Wearing virtue like a blade

Verse 2

They crowned me with their hopes and dreams

I wore the weight until it cracked

The gentle face the world redeems

Was just a fortress built and stacked

Pre-Chorus

Every offering I took to heart

Every mercy fell apart

Chorus

I am the shadow of goodness

The faithful turned away (turned away)

I am the wound that keeps on bleeding

Where the light refused to stay

The shadow of goodness

Wearing virtue like a blade

Bridge

Bleeding gold from holy hands

I gave them everything I stole

A testament of broken plans

A hollow vessel for a soul

Chorus

I am the shadow of goodness

The faithful turned away (turned away)

I am the wound that keeps on bleeding

Where the light refused to stay

The shadow of goodness

Wearing virtue like a blade

Outro

The shadow falls

The shadow falls

On me
