Verse 1
I see a stranger in the mirror’s glare,
A whispered echo of what I won’t bear.
Fingers pointing through the haze of night,
Blame’s a lantern burning out of sight.
Pre-Chorus
What’s mine, what’s theirs, I can’t recall,
A tangled dance of ghosts that call.
The mind’s a stage, the curtain falls,
And there they flicker—shadows on the wall.
Chorus
Shadows on the wall, they twist and sway,
Reflections of the things I’d never say.
Cast them out, they won’t obey,
My hidden truth in the light of day.
Oh, shadows on the wall, they’re here to stay.
Verse 2
A voice accusing in the crowded room,
A thief of peace in the heart’s costume.
I dress them up in someone else’s skin,
But they creep back where the cracks begin.
Pre-Chorus
What’s mine, what’s theirs, I can’t recall,
A tangled dance of ghosts that call.
The mind’s a stage, the curtain falls,
And there they flicker—shadows on the wall.
Chorus
Shadows on the wall, they twist and sway,
Reflections of the things I’d never say.
Cast them out, they won’t obey,
My hidden truth in the light of day.
Oh, shadows on the wall, they’re here to stay.
Bridge
Every fear, every flaw, painted bold and raw,
A gallery of me I never saw.
The light bends low, the dark reveals,
A truth too close, a wound that heals.
Chorus
Shadows on the wall, they twist and sway,
Reflections of the things I’d never say.
Cast them out, they won’t obey,
My hidden truth in the light of day.
Oh, shadows on the wall, they’re here to stay.
Outro
Fading now, but never gone,
A silent hum, a muted song.
In every glance, in every call,
I’ll face my shadows on the wall.
