Verse 1:
Came up dreaming, heart in my hands,
Eyes on the prize, but it feels like quicksand.
Late nights, sweat pours on the ground,
But every time I rise, I feel like I'm bound.
Chorus:
I’m chasing shadows, running down this road,
With a heart so heavy, and a mind that’s exploded.
Family ties breaking, wanna feel whole,
But I’m just a teen with war in my soul.
Verse 2:
She packed her bags, said she needed space,
Now every empty room is a lonely place.
Used to cheer me on, now the silence screams,
Wonder if I’m ever gonna live those dreams.
Chorus:
I’m chasing shadows, running down this road,
With a heart so heavy, and a mind that’s exploded.
Family ties breaking, wanna feel whole,
But I’m just a teen with war in my soul.
Bridge:
Pressure on my chest, can't catch a breath,
Trying to rise up while I feel like I’m dead.
Whispers in the hall, saying I won’t make it,
But deep down inside, there’s a fire I can’t fake it.
Verse 3:
Late night crying while the world’s asleep,
Dreams feel so far but I gotta leap.
Got my cleats on ready for the next round,
But this heartache, man, it’s holding me down.
Chorus:
I’m chasing shadows, running down this road,
With a heart so heavy, and a mind that’s exploded.
Family ties breaking, wanna feel whole,
But I’m just a teen with war in my soul.
Outro:
So here I stand, ready to fight,
Gonna turn my pain into power tonight.
One step at a time, I won’t let it go,
I’m chasing shadows, but I’m here to grow.
