Chasing ghost

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.
