Dive into the emotional chaos of friendship lost in 'Face in the Shadows'. This pop punk anthem captures the heartache and confusion of dealing with the death of a close friend, only to face an imposter who wears their face. With electrifying guitar riffs and raw, heartfelt lyrics, the band channels their grief into a powerful coming-of-age story about acceptance, moving on, and the lingering memories that refuse to fade.
(Verse 1)
I saw your smile in the crowd tonight,
But it felt so wrong, like a ghost in the light.
Your laughter echoed in the back of my mind,
But the eyes of a stranger, nothing left to find.
(Chorus)
You're just a face in the shadows,
Wearing her skin, but where did she go?
Life isn’t real when you’re faking the glow,
A phantom of friendship, in a world of woe.
(Verse 2)
We shared our dreams on those summer nights,
Now I’m haunted by the memories, gripping so tight.
But you slipped away, like sand through my hands,
Now I see an imposter, in a world that disbands.
(Chorus)
You're just a face in the shadows,
Wearing her skin, but where did she go?
Life isn’t real when you’re faking the glow,
A phantom of friendship, in a world of woe.
(Bridge)
I scream at the mirror, “Why can’t you see?”
You’re just a reflection of what used to be.
I’ll take the pain and keep it alive,
You stole her face, but I know she’ll survive.
(Chorus)
You're just a face in the shadows,
Wearing her skin, but where did she go?
Life isn’t real when you’re faking the glow,
A phantom of friendship, in a world of woe.
(Outro)
So I’ll raise a glass to the girl that I knew,
In my heart, you’ll blossom, forever true.
Though the shadows may linger, they’ll never replace,
The love and the laughter, that once filled this space.
