Shadows and Fire

Shadows creeping down the alley dark

Cold wind biting tearing me apart

Footsteps echo in the hollow night

Eyes like embers burnin’ out of sight

Streetlights flicker ghosts in the haze

Dreams unravel in a fevered blaze

Heart's a hammer pounding through my chest

Chasing demons ain't no time to rest

Howlin' at the moon with a growl so deep

Promises broken I can't ever keep

Fire in my soul burnin’ out my name

Shadows and fire never play the same game

Whiskey's biting but it won't heal the sting

Lost in the silence where the church bells ring

Every corner hides a piece of my sin

Tryna hold on but the dark pulls me in

Dust in my lungs breathing pain like smoke

Every word's a chain every lie's a joke

Thunder rolls above with a mocking sound

Lightning strikes but it never hits the ground

Howlin' at the moon with a growl so deep

Promises broken I can't ever keep

Fire in my soul burnin’ out my name

Shadows and fire never play the same game
