Chasing Shadows

The clock is ticking but the hands don't move
I'm stuck inside this repetitive groove
I see a flicker at the end of the hall
But it's just a ghost dancing on the wall
My heart is racing, my lungs are tight
I'm a midnight runner in a neon light

The faster I go, the further it feels
Like I'm spinning on broken wheels
A mirage in the desert, a star in the rain
I'm reaching for pleasure but I'm catching the pain

One step forward, two steps back
Running on a broken track
Chasing shadows in the dark
Trying to find a tiny spark
It's a silhouette, it's a hollow ghost
The thing I want is what I'm losing the most

I remember the heat, I remember the glow
But the more I hunt, the less I know
Is it a memory or a digital lie?
A projection of us in the back of my eye
I'm screaming your name but the wind is too loud
Just another face in a faceless crowd

The faster I go, the further it feels
Like I'm spinning on broken wheels
A mirage in the desert, a star in the rain
I'm reaching for pleasure but I'm catching the pain

One step forward, two steps back
Running on a broken track
Chasing shadows in the dark
Trying to find a tiny spark
It's a silhouette, it's a hollow ghost
The thing I want is what I'm losing the most

(Shadows, shadows)
I'm chasing the wind, I'm chasing the light
I'm losing the battle with the middle of the night
Stop (but I can't stop)
Run (I have to run)
Till the shadows and the light are one

One step forward, two steps back
Running on a broken track
Chasing shadows in the dark
Trying to find a tiny spark
It's a silhouette, it's a hollow ghost
The thing I want is what I'm losing the most

Chasing shadows
Trying to find a spark
(Running, running)
Snap (silence)
