Chasing Dreams

Chasing the shadows I called my dream

But they're fading out like a silent scream

Every open door just leads to stone

Walking these halls and I’m still alone

Spent so long climbing this crooked climb

Feels like I’m wasting borrowed time

Trading my nights for a paycheck glow

But I can't tell if it’s worth the show

When will they see the fire inside

Burning bright but nowhere to hide

If I let it go would it be my fall

Or will my voice echo through it all

Tied to a job that eats my soul

Counting hours but it feels so cold

If money could vanish I’d break these chains

Run with the wind erase the pain

Am I chasing a life that isn’t mine

Writing chapters in someone else's lines

If I give it up am I free or done

Or is this fight how the prize is won

When will they see the fire inside

Burning bright but nowhere to hide

If I let it go would it be my fall

Or will my voice echo through it all
