lyrics

(Verse 1)
He wrote all his thoughts in a journal by his bedside, life full o' hurdles, like a turtle he would get by, slow in his pace, and though he would face problems, he kept his nose to the chase, tryin' to finish first, he had hope as he raced, but didn't even know where to go as he paced, never had a woman, didn't know the embrace, cried at night as he stroked his own face, it was hard by his lonesome, he didn't even feel real, he was scarred by emotions stuffed inside like a can of worms, and it hurt, he felt like a salmon cursed, he wished each day would be one for the books, but he kept gettin' older and love wouldn't look over his shoulder, it must have been took by society, as the sun set quietly

(Chorus)
*Sample*: "As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow"

(Verse 2)
Feelin' suffocated and his writing reflected it, depressed inside, but his friends never detected it, he could have turned to drugs, but he never messed with 'em, weird looks from peers, he thought they thought less of him, spent lots of time by himself in a dark place, nursing his woes, he was coping with heartbreak, no where to turn like the end of a car chase, crashed in his bed while he slammed on the hard brakes, a hard way to navigate through life, and he knew that he had to face new heights, but with no rope to pull him to safety, he fastened himself to the unknown to break free, taking a chance with no guarantees, a new road, didn't know where it would lead, less traveled for a reason, maybe that was the case, but he followed no one and cast the shadow away

(Chorus)
*Sample*: "As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow"

(Bridge)
*Sample*: "As they took his soul, they stole his pride"
Chris: An outcast just lookin' for his place, didn't know what to do, didn't know what to say
*Sample*: "As they took his soul, they stole his pride"
Chris: He relinquished his pain, and hollowed out a voice from the noise in his brain
*Sample*: "As they took his soul, they stole his pride"
Chris: Could have perished in embarrassment, but he found inner peace and he learned how to carry it
*Sample*: "As they took his soul, they stole his pride"
Chris: But he took wisdom and found that discovery, in the end was the key to recovery

(Chorus)
*Sample*: "As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow"
