Have you met my better half?
Built by hand, I made this mess
I can't relax, it's on my back
Breathing down my neck, I thought I'd left

Left in the past, thought I left it for dead
Thought I buried the debt long ago

I'm running till I can't breathe
But my shadow's catching up
My shadow's catching up with me
The brighter the light on me
Yeah
The more that I can see
My shadow's catching up with me

Curse the cave for all those days
Made me this way, no saving grace
There's no escape, end of the day
Meet my mistakes, unfaced to face

Left in the past, thought I left it for dead
Thought I buried the debt long ago

I'm

I'm running till I can't breathe
But my shadow's catching up
My shadow's catching up with me
The brighter the light on me
The more that I can see
My shadow's catching up with me

The darkest part of myself
Followed me out of my living hell
A lifetime of hide-and-seek
But my shadow's catching up
My shadow's catching up with me

Could you take me to God?
Could you take out the rot
That you sewed to my heels? Kinda feels like a rock
And it's weighing me down
And when I turn around
And I see that it's taken the shape of me

I'm running till I can't breathe
But my shadow's catching up
My shadow's catching up with me
The brighter the light on me
Oh, the more that I can see
My shadow's catching up with me
