Chasing shadows

"Chasing Shadows"

(Verse 1)

I wear a smile like armor strong,

A mask that hides where I belong,

Every step, a spotlight’s glare,

But who's beneath the surface there?

(Pre-Chorus)

Running faster, chasing gold,

Stories of the me I sold,

Build me up, then break me down,

I’m the king without a crown.

(Chorus)

I’m chasing shadows in the night,

Racing towards the fading light,

All the dreams I want to be,

Running from the truth in me.

(Verse 2)

They see the trophies on the wall,

But don’t hear when the silence calls,

Counting wins and counting loss,

Choosing masks, I pay the cost.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not just what you want to see,

In this mirror, who’s really me?

Fighting hard to stand so tall,

But sometimes I just want to fall.

(Chorus)

I’m chasing shadows in the night,

Racing towards the fading light,

All the dreams I want to be,

Running from the truth in me.

(Bridge)

Maybe there’s peace in letting go,

Dropping the act, letting it show,

The heart that’s hidden in the fight,

Beyond the shine, the scars, the light.

(Outro)

I’m chasing shadows, chasing dreams,

More than what I ever seemed,

Learning now to just be free,

Breaking through to simply me.
