Shadows and Smoke

[Verse]
Ashes fall where fire once burned
Cold wind cuts the lessons unlearned
Streetlights flicker like ghosts in a fight
Shadows crawl out of the edges of night

[Chorus]
Shadows and smoke where the truth used to stand
Reach for the light but it slips through my hand
Every breath feels heavy every step feels slow
Shadows and smoke and nowhere to go

[Verse 2]
Tired hands clutch a bottle of blame
Mirror's cracked can't remember my name
Footsteps echo but no one's around
Lost in the silence a deafening sound

[Prechorus]
Is this the end or just a mistake
How much more of this can a soul take

[Chorus]
Shadows and smoke where the truth used to stand
Reach for the light but it slips through my hand
Every breath feels heavy every step feels slow
Shadows and smoke and nowhere to go

[Bridge]
What’s the cost of a broken heart
What’s the point when it falls apart
I scream to the sky but it won’t scream back
All I see is the world gone black
