Verse 1
Spotlight on me, every night
Climbing heights, but something ain't right
Flashing lights blinding my eyes
Hiding the truth behind my disguise
Pre-Chorus
I wanted it, I chased the dream
Now I see it's not what it seems
Fame's a castle built on lies
While my soul, in shadows, dies
Chorus
In the dark, I find my peace
Away from crowds, I feel released
A shadow's embrace, my secret place
Where fame and privacy interlace
Verse 2
Cameras follow, they never sleep
While my secrets, they're mine to keep
When the curtains close, and silence creeps
That's when my weary soul can breathe
Pre-Chorus
I wanted it, I chased the dream
Now I see it's not what it seems
Fame's a castle built on lies
While my soul, in shadows, dies
Chorus
In the dark, I find my peace
Away from crowds, I feel released
A shadow's embrace, my secret place
Where fame and privacy interlace
Bridge
Echoes of the past, they whisper low
In the solitude, I start to grow
Balancing the high with the low
Finding myself in the ebb and flow
Chorus (Reprise)
In the dark, I find my peace
Away from crowds, I feel released
A shadow's embrace, my secret place
Where fame and privacy interlace
Outro
Spotlight's fading, night's my friend
In the silence, wounds can mend
In the shadow's embrace, no pretense
Living life on my own defense
