Shadows in the Needle
Midnight Prophet

Intro:

In the dark alleys where angels fear to tread
Whispers of lost souls, stories left unsaid

Verse 1:

I'm dancing with the shadows, needles in my veins
Every hit, a silent scream, numbing all the pain
Chasing dragons breathing fire in my fragile mind
Reality's a distant memory I'm trying to find

I've got the devil on my shoulder and he's whispering lies
Promises of paradise behind bloodshot eyes
Each encounter's a battle I lose before I start
My soul's been sold in pieces, wrapped inside a heart

Chorus:

Shadows in the needle, reflections in the dark
Lost within a labyrinth, can't find a spark
Drowning in a river where the waters never tire
Chasing broken dreams, setting hearts on fire

Verse 2:

Lost in a sea of faces, every gaze an empty stare
Friends become strangers in this masquerade of despair
Silence screams louder than the sirens in the night
Tethered to my demons, losing every fight

I'm a prisoner in a castle built from shattered dreams
Muffled cries in silence, nothing's as it seems
Margins of madness bleed through the seams of sanity
Living life as an illusion, a fractured reality

Chorus:

Shadows in the needle, reflections in the dark
Lost within a labyrinth, can't find a spark
Drowning in a river where the waters never tire
Chasing broken dreams, setting hearts on fire

Bridge:

Echoes of my footsteps in the corridors of shame
Haunted by the choices that I can't reclaim
Every path a twisted fork leading to demise
Can't break free from these chains wrapped in lies

Verse 3:

A voice in the distance calls out my name
Hope flickers like a candle against the shadow's claim
With every heartbeat, a chance to change the script
But the weight of addiction makes it hard to lift

I'm standing at the crossroads, choices laid bare
Do I surrender or fight this nightmare?
Broken but not beaten, there's fire in my soul
In the ruins of despair, I reclaim control

Chorus:

Shadows in the needle, reflections in the dark
Lost within a labyrinth, can't find a spark
Drowning in a river where the waters never tire
Chasing broken dreams, setting hearts on fire

Outro:

In the wasteland of chaos, I begin anew
Finding strength within myself, a vision clearer view
Discovering hope buried in the ashes of despair
Rising from the shadows, I breathe the free air
