Lyrics
[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
