[Verse 1] Before we reason we tick back the time
A peril lost upon a broken smile
The confrontation of a point of view
The shadow becomes the shadow following you

[Verse 2] Before we reason we say words of hurt
The pending phrases from our history books
The revelation of a point on cue
The shadow becomes the shadow harrowing you

[Pre-Chorus 1] As the play re-invents itself
I will never be a hologram
As you stay and I want to go
I can never make a dream of this
Never, ahhh, ever

[Chorus] Every tick of the world
Make amends with yourself
Have the jewel of mine eye
Every tick of the Earth
Take a lesson and learn
The shadow returned

The shadow becomes the shadow following you

[Verse 4] Before we reason we take back the shrine
A vision lost a vision left untwined
Before the season of the change may come
The shadow befriends the shadow harrowing you

[Pre-Chorus 2] As the play re-invents itself
I can never be a hologram
As you stay and I want to go
I can never make a dream of this
Never, ahhh, ever

[Chorus] 3x
Every tick of the world
Make amends with yourself
Have the jewel of mine eye
Every tick of the Earth
Take a lesson and learn
The shadow returned
