Chasing Shadows

[Verse 1] Chasing shadows under city streets Heart pounding pressure never leaves No solace in the unknown beneath Living sharp in a world full of teeth Breath in my chest and the night's on fire Footsteps echo like a funeral choir Dash past fear with a fateful desire Can't see the end, visions razor wire Hunted by the memory, cold and infectious Running from the past like it's some kind of nexus Danger in the air, can you feel the infections Every second slipping through, testing my reflections Lurking in alleys, every post more dire Paranoia thick like electric wire Facing myself is an endless mire Escaping the darkness, still climbing higher [Chorus] Running from darkness, it's chasing me still Heartbeat trembling, time stands still Can't let go, gotta fight until I break the cycle, get up this hill [Verse 2] Can't trust a shadow, they morph and deceive Every glance back, got something up my sleeve Packed with adrenaline, refuse to believe Survival's a dance, gotta fight to achieve Heavy breathing, the pressure's intense Eyes in the dark got me feeling suspense Nowhere is safe, every sense is immense I keep running, crossing every fence Leaving the silence that screams my name Every mistake just another game I'll keep moving while danger remains Fighting the darkness, breaking my chains [Chorus] Running from darkness, it's chasing me still Heartbeat trembling, time stands still Can't let go, gotta fight until I break the cycle, get up this hill [Verse 3 – Psychological] Mind’s a battleground, paranoia’s my twin Every thought’s a weapon, cutting deeper within Walls closing in, but I sharpen my blade Turn the fear to fury, let the shadows invade Echoes of betrayal still replay in my head But I flip ‘em into fire, leave the monsters in dread Every scar’s a sermon, every nightmare’s a clue I don’t run from the voices — I make ‘em march too [Bridge – Violent] Strike through the shadows, cut ‘em where they crawl Break every phantom ‘til I shatter ‘em all Stomp on the whispers, I don’t bend, I don’t fall Rip the masks off the demons, hear the night jaws call I was built for the blood, for the fight, for the war Kick the gates off the abyss, I ain’t hiding no more! [Chorus – w/ Ad-libs] Running from darkness, it's chasing me still (run, run, fight!) Heartbeat trembling, time stands still (time stands still!) Can't let go, gotta fight until (fight until!) I break the cycle, get up this hill (hill, hill, hill!) Running from darkness, it's chasing me still (never stop now!) Heartbeat trembling, time stands still (time stands still!) Can't let go, gotta fight until (fight until!) I break the cycle, get up this hill (hill, hill, hill!)
