Verse 1:
I met you in the twilight, shadows dancing on the wall,
The whispered secrets of the night, I was lost within it all.
Your empty eyes like twilight stars, they pulled me in so deep,
A bitter taste of sweetness, in this promise I can’t keep.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, running fast,
An addiction carved in glass,
You’re the high that I can’t face,
In your arms, I lose my place.
Verse 2:
Each touch a fleeting whisper, a siren's call in the dark,
You burn just like a candle, illuminating all my scars.
Can't escape your pull on me, like smoke wrapped ‘round my lungs,
With each breath I’m suffocating, still I’m caught up in your song.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, running fast,
An addiction carved in glass,
You’re the high that I can’t face,
In your arms, I lose my place.
Bridge:
In the echoes of our silence, I can feel you slipping away,
Each moment painted over, in hues of deep decay.
But I crave your bitter sweetness, though I know it’s just a game,
Got me tied up in your influence, can’t escape this jagged pain.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, running fast,
An addiction carved in glass,
You’re the high that I can’t face,
In your arms, I lose my place.
Outro:
So I’ll keep on chasing, as I drown in this embrace,
A love like swift addiction, painted with a hollow grace.
You’re my shadow, my demise,
Yet I’ll chase you 'til the day I die.
