[Verse]
Fading light like dying embers
Promises float like dust
Whispered lies and silence breaks
Truth and deceit are waged in trust

[Verse]
Walking down these cracked old paths
Shadows cling like yesterday's ghosts
Memories tethered to rust and stone
Heavy hearts are the hardest hosts

[Chorus]
Burning shadows deep within
Screaming out through paper skin
Silhouettes that paint the night
Chasing dreams that just aren't right

[Verse]
Rain falls hard on these empty streets
Footsteps echo pain and time
Broken clocks and shattered dreams
Chasing hope in random rhymes

[Verse]
Sunrise brings a brand new ache
Color bleeds through the dark
Sorrow cuts like a jagged blade
Wounds that scar but never mark

[Chorus]
Burning shadows deep within
Screaming out through paper skin
Silhouettes that paint the night
Chasing dreams that just aren't right
