Chasing Shadows

[Intro] Stumbling through the night, with echoes all around, Lost in whispers of streets; yeah, they feel like ground. Concrete memories shadowing my old days, Chasing what matters, fighting through the haze. [Chorus] Caught in this vibe of hope and despair, Dreams in my pockets—not much there to share. Reaching for light while the shadows seep, Looking for clarity in this climb so steep. I’m chasing these shadows; they’re calling to me, Draw me in closer, feels like I’m breaking free. [Verse 1] Self-doubt weighs heavy, like a rock on my chest, No shining faith—just a laugh and a jest. Mirrors don’t show me the truth of my soul, Lost in the grind, just trying to feel whole. This city pulses, feels like a drum, Always rushing forward, man, it’s making me numb. Dreams in the colors of all my regrets, A canvas of shadows I can’t quite forget. [Chorus] Caught in this vibe of hope and despair, Dreams in my pockets—not much there to share. Reaching for light while the shadows seep, Looking for clarity in this climb so steep. I’m chasing these shadows; they’re calling to me, Draw me in closer, feels like I’m breaking free. [Verse 2] Remembering moments, bright as the sun, Caught up between the present and what I’ve done. Every step I’m taking, shows my journey now, Facing these struggles, wondering just how. The world pulls me down, got me feeling weak, Burdened by pressure; hope is what I seek. But I rise from the darkness, a warrior at heart, Holding on strong, playing my part. [Bridge] In quiet moments, truth starts to shine, Vulnerability's a torch, I'm owning what's mine. In the dark, strength comes; grace pulls me tight, Embracing my shadows, yeah, I found my light. [Outro] 16 miles from dreams to today, Holding tight to courage in my own way. The road may be twisted, but I take each stride, Chasing these shadows, no fear to hide. Every beat of my heart, every voice I meet, This city's alive—man, I won’t hit retreat.
