[Short Intro] [Verse 1] I'm sitting here, chasing down words, Like sparks in the dark, they disappear Reach to catch them, fingers slipping, Embers drifting through the air They weave like stories in my mind, Pages turn but leave no lines. By the time I try to write them, They unravel lost to time. [Chorus] Thoughts are racing, fading, Faster than my hands can trace them. What I know and what I say— Like smoke and shadow, slip away. Burning out before they shine, Scattered thoughts that won’t combine. [Verse 2] Writing, speaking, every word Comes too slow, feels unheard. Like taillights in the distance glowing Gone before I shape the sound. [Chorus] Thoughts are racing, fading, Faster than my lips can say them. What I know and what I say— Like smoke and shadow, slip away. Burning out before they shine, Another thought I can't align. [Bridge] If I could pause the rushing night, Hold the sparks while they ignite, Let the words burn into stone, So they are finally my own. [Final Chorus] Thoughts keep racing, breaking, Faster than my mind can take them. But tonight, I'll salvage one, Before the final silence comes. [end]
