Cycle of Shadows

[Intro]
In the shadows, I surrender, I feel alive
Dancing with my demons, in the night I thrive

[Verse 1]
I'm caught in a cycle, a swirl of desire
Men come and go, their souls fuel my fire
Temporary blessings, then emptiness follows
In their eyes, I see my reflection, hollow

[Pre-Chorus]
Control is a whisper, a fleeting embrace
In the dance of the dark, I find my place
But inside, I wonder, what's left of me?
A soul roughened by the nightly spree

[Chorus]
Oh, I love the thrill, I love the pain
In this game of shadows, I remain
Demonic visits, emptying out
Yet I still cling, I have no doubt

[Verse 2]
They give me their truths, their fleeting grace
Each encounter leaves a trace, an invisible space
In my heart, a flicker of something more
But I chase the high, yet crave the core

[Pre-Chorus]
Will I ever break free, or just keep falling?
In this endless cycle, no warning
What will remain when I finally stop?
Will the demons find me, or will I drop?

[Chorus]
Oh, I love the thrill, I love the pain
In this game of shadows, I remain
Demonic visits, emptying out
Yet I still cling, I have no doubt

[Bridge]
Is my soul just a canvas, scratched and worn?
Or can it heal, reborn from the forlorn?
Will the darkness fade, can I see the light?
Or am I destined for eternal night?

[Outro]
Soon I hope to find a different way
Break these chains, let the dawn light my day
But till then, I dance with my demons
My soul's shaped rough, yet it still beats even

[End]
In this cycle, I live and breathe
Waiting for the day I finally leave
