Shadows of Self Songtext
von Half Built Homes

I′ve been leaving pieces of my ghost
Everywhere I go
Feels like I'm never going home
Shedding all the skin of who I′ve been
As I change to who I am
And I'm changing once again

The season can't hold me
And keep me like the old me
Everything′s eventual
And everyone grows old
The words left unspoken
Haunt me like an old friend
When everyone fades away
Then everything will stay as it is


I′ve been searching lately for who I am
And trying to decide if I
Care for who that is
Picking up the shadows of myself
Try to make them whole
Find out where it all went wrong

The season can't hold me
And keep me like the old me
Everything′s eventual
And everyone grows old
The words left unspoken
Haunt me like an old friend
When everyone fades away
Then everything will stay as it is

Life can run away like a man loses his faith
A mask can fall and show the world your smile was always fake
A saint can fall from grace and bear the cross for everything
Cause the crowd is always lookin' for someone to take the blame
I guess I am much the same


The season can′t hold me
And keep me like the old me
Everything's eventual
And everyone grows old
The words left unspoken
Haunt me like an old friend
When everyone fades away
Then everything will stay as it is
