[Verse 1: Male]
Heart's a chessboard, every move’s a gamble,
Steppin’ through the dark, my steps unravel.
Echoes in the alley, whispers in the cracks,
Life’s a deck of cards, jokers in the stacks.
[Chorus: Male & Female]
Shadow games, we’re playin’ in the night,
Chasin’ flames, but they’re burnin’ out of sight.
Shadow games, where the truth gets blurred,
Tell me, tell me, have you heard?
[Verse 2: Female]
Silhouettes dance, secrets on the ceiling,
Eyes sharp as daggers, cut through the feeling.
Maps of lies folded in my pocket,
Time ticks slow, but I can't unlock it.
[Prechorus: Female]
Words like riddles, promises brittle,
Every turn, the plot gets little by little.
[Chorus: Male & Female]
Shadow games, we’re playin’ in the night,
Chasin’ flames, but they’re burnin’ out of sight.
Shadow games, where the truth gets blurred,
Tell me, tell me, have you heard?
[Bridge: Male & Female]
Masks on faces, who’s the real me?
Lines drawn in places only shadows see.
Smoke in the mirror, tricks in the air,
Is this a nightmare, or do we even care?
