Lyrics
Your shadow fall on the concrete ground
You build a new cathedral in this town
Your shadow fall on the concrete ground
You build a new cathedral in this town
[Verse 1]
The Kantamanto heat hits the back of your neck, it's just past noon.
You see her haggling for thread, and the silence inside you becomes a room.
A whole blueprint you never drew, with walls you can't see past.

[Chorus]
Your shadow fall on the concrete ground
You build a new cathedral in this town

[Bridge]
All the plans you made for your life—just lines on a dusty page.
One look from her and you're turning to a brand new, unwritten stage.
[Outro]
A new cathedral...
In this town...
