Verse 1:
I hear the footsteps, they follow near,
Whispers clawing inside my ear.
I run through streets that twist and fade,
Every shadow a debt unpaid.
Breath like fire, lungs collapse,
My sanity’s caught in their traps.
No matter the pace, no matter the road,
The weight of the ghosts is what I hold.
Pre-Chorus:
They’re not real, but I still bleed,
Fears made flesh from the thoughts I feed.
Chorus:
Chasing ghosts, they’re pulling me under,
Silent screams and distant thunder.
No escape, I’ve lost the fight,
Haunted by the dark of night.
Verse 2:
Hands reach out from the corners I pass,
Shadows stretch like broken glass.
Every step, they’re closer still,
Feeding on the void I fill.
The echoes rise, they call my name,
Faces blur, they look the same.
They vanish when I turn my head,
But live inside the words unsaid.
Bridge:
I run, I stumble, I fall, I break,
Every ghost another mistake.
Clawing, screaming, I can’t outpace,
The phantoms I made that wear my face.
Chorus (Repeat):
Chasing ghosts, they’re pulling me under,
Silent screams and distant thunder.
No escape, I’ve lost the fight,
Haunted by the dark of night.
Outro:
The ghosts don’t sleep, they never fade,
They’re born from the fear that I’ve made.
I can’t outrun what lives in me,
Chasing ghosts eternally.
