[Verse 1]
I’m chasing echoes through a storm-lit maze,
Shattered mirrors show my fractured face.
Each step is fire on a path I made,
Built from silence, scars, and razor-blades.
They call me lost, but I see the lies,
I was never theirs to sanitize.
I walk through ruins, I walk through flame,
What you call broken, I reclaim.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes drag me under slow,
But in the dark, I start to glow.
I’m not afraid of who I see,
This chaos—yeah, it’s setting me free.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m the shadow you can’t outrun,
The reflection you become.
Tried to drown me in your shame,
But I still breathe through all your blame.
Sinking deep, but I don’t drown—
I rise where others fall down.
You can’t erase what’s meant to be,
I’m the fire inside the shadow of me.
⸻
[Verse 2]
You say I’m fading—I say I’m reborn,
Out of the quiet, comes the storm.
Every maze I ran was just a test,
Now I wear my darkness like a vest.
Tried to erase me, tried to control,
But I found freedom in the holes.
Whispers carved into my bones,
Now I stand, shadow-crowned, alone.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes pull, the silence screams,
I turn my pain into lucid dreams.
I tried to break, but I grew instead—
From every word they never said.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m the shadow you can’t outrun,
The mirror cracked, but never done.
You stitched your doubt into my skin,
But I still shine from deep within.
You fear me ‘cause I survived,
All the falls where you’d have died.
You can’t erase what’s meant to be—
I’m the rebel truth you didn’t see.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken / Whispered]
If I vanish, will they mourn my name,
Or just scroll past like it’s a game?
I’m not your puppet, not your ghost—
I’m the voice you buried most.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Cinematic, layered with strings, harmonies, and soft glitch]
I’m the shadow you can’t outrun,
Your nightmare wrapped in a rising sun.
Fading once, but now I fight—
A fractured star still chasing light.
You tried to bury what you feared in me,
But I was born from that entropy.
Can’t erase what’s meant to be—
I am the light in the shadow of me.
⸻
[Outro – Slow fade, ghostly echoes]
I’m the light… in the shadow of me.
You can’t outrun… what’s meant to be.
