[Verse 1]
Booked a trip to Texas, thought I'd start again
Switched out my addresses and ghosted all my friends
Thought I could escape what I could not transcend
Found myself back in the same old place again

[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm the nexus, the common thread that binds
The problems in my hеad and the world that lives outside
I thought I could еscape, but it's fate I've come to find
My devil is the devil that's inside

[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow

[Post-Chorus]
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
[Bridge]
We grapple, we battle, but we
Are shackled for eternity
We grapple, we battle
We're shackled, we're shackled, we're shackled

[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow

[Post-Chorus]
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
