[Verse]
He runs through the night where the streetlights hum
With a heart so heavy but his feet still drum
The stars wink above like they know his name
But they slip through his fingers
This endless game
[Chorus]
Chasing shadows
They fade
They fade
Every time he’s close
They slip away
Reaching high but the sky won’t stay
Chasing shadows
They fade
They fade
[Verse 2]
He paints his dreams in colors bold
But the canvas tears
The paint runs cold
The world’s a mirror
It bends
It lies
Every step feels closer
Yet farther it flies
[Prechorus]
He falls
He stumbles
He breaks the dawn
But the fight in his chest keeps pulling him on
[Chorus]
Chasing shadows
They fade
They fade
Every time he’s close
They slip away
Reaching high but the sky won’t stay
Chasing shadows
They fade
They fade
[Bridge]
The clock keeps ticking
It laughs
It mocks
A race with no finish
A door with no locks
But there’s fire in his soul
A spark in his veins
Even shadows can’t live without light in their chains
