Be true or be gone
You’re only fooling yourself
Open hand or not
You are holding out
But there is no life that you can’t live in
Tear it apart
Your old confession made in the dark
Now every hour, change of heart
You’re running away
But the shadow is yours
Cover all your steps
One day I know they will be tried
No deception left
And now even you might realize
That there is no lie that you can live in
Tear it apart
Your own confession made in the dark
Now every hour, change of heart
You’re running away
But the shadow is yours, yours
One day when it finds you, take it to heart
You can’t run away
When you know that the tall, tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
The tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow is yours
No, there is no lie that you can live in
Tear it apart
Your own confession made in the dark
Now every hour, change of heart
You’re running away
But the shadow is your own, your own
One day when it finds you
Take it to heart
You can’t run away when you know
That the tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
The tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
The tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
The tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
You know the tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow
The tall tall shadow
Tall tall shadow is yours
You can’t run away
If the shadow is yours
You can’t run away
When the shadow is yours
You can’t run away
No you can’t run away
If the shadow is yours
