Dancing Shadows

[Verse]
Streetlights hum, shadows stretch, lonely roads
Night eats my thoughts, my chest implodes
Dreams in fragments, memories burn slow
Cigarette ghosts, they follow where I go

Heart on my sleeve, but it’s torn at the seams
Counting stars like scars, chasing dead dreams
Air tastes bitter, like the words I never spoke
Falling through the dark, hope’s just a cruel joke

[Chorus]
Dancing through the pain, I’m a shadow on fire
Spinning in the rain, cold flames take me higher
Every step’s a tear, every move’s a scream
Dancing through the pain, breaking at the seams

[Verse 2]
Mirror cracked, reflection ain’t me no more
Eyes scream truths that my lips ignore
Voice in my head sings a song so blue
Says love’s a blade, and I’m bleeding through

Pills on the counter, moonlight spills
Trying to climb but the void refills
Heartbeats echo, but they sound so hollow
Dreams call me forward, nightmares follow

[Bridge] (whispered)
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm in my veins
Footsteps fall, but the hurt remains
Ghosts of you, they lead, they pull
Empty room, but it’s so full
