Shadows and Heat

[Verse 1]
The sun beats down hard on the cracked asphalt
Every step I take is a rekindled memory
I've seen flames and I've seen the price we paid
When the law is written in the shadows and the heat

[Prechorus]
Echoes whisper down the empty street
A siren's song
A heartbeat's beat

[Chorus]
Shadows and heat
They dance
They collide
Burning my soul
No place to hide
Shadows and heat
They never let go
Pulling me under
Stealing the show

[Verse 2]
Neon signs flicker like a dying star
Broken dreams litter every boulevard
I’ve chased the smoke
I’ve kissed the fire
But the shadows and heat
They never tire

[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes
The cycle’s complete
The fight is the fire
The fire’s defeat
I tried to run
But it circles back
Shadows and heat
They’re always on track

[Chorus]
Shadows and heat
They dance
They collide
Burning my soul
No place to hide
Shadows and heat
They never let go
Pulling me under
Stealing the show
