Shadow Steps

[Verse 1]
Moon hangs crooked, skyline bruised,
Footsteps echo, silence used.
Streetlights flicker, shadows crawl,
Graffiti whispers, city walls.

Breath in smoke, lungs turn gray,
Voices haunt from yesterday.
Cobblestone heart, cracks still show,
Lost in the glow, where does it go?

[Prechorus]
Drip from the gutter, dreams in the drain,
Chasing the thunder, numb to the pain.

[Chorus]
Shadow steps, can't see my face,
Lost in the dark, no saving grace.
Shadow steps, the night I chase,
Running from time, can't leave no trace.

[Verse 2]
Alley cat eyes, green like sin,
Neon pulse under paper-thin skin.
City hum, a hymn for the cursed,
Falling deeper, quenching thirst.

Pavement scars, tell the tale,
Of hearts that broke and dreams that failed.
Concrete ocean, drowning fast,
Future whispers, chained to the past.
