Chaseing Shadows (Extended 1)

Prelude

Shadows gather early, before the world can wake

Miles unravel quietly, no turning back, no brake

Eyes on the horizon, hunger deep inside

Wind sings a memory only silence can confide

Verse -1

Silver morning waiting, chilled by rolling mist

Empty shoulders lifeless, old dreams still persist

I walk on in circles, footsteps washed away

Searching through the lost years, hoping one might stay

Pre-Intro

Still I wander, hoping to find

A glimmer or reason left behind

Intro

Long road unwinding, under faded signs

Sun slipping downward, painting silent lines

Footsteps echo through the gravel and sand

Each one a question, reaching out for a hand

Verse 0

Light and darkness spinning slow and wide

Eyes searching faces no words coincide

Morning breaks quietly, night swallows it whole

Heart repeating riddles no map ever told

Pre-Pre-Chorus

Alone with the longing, truth hard to find

Hoping for meaning in the back of my mind

Verse 1

Midnight highway stretching out so wide

Moon hanging low in a sullen sky

Tires humming secret songs of the past

Questions gather like the shadows cast

Boots on the shoulder, heart split in two

Every mile taken, gets me further from you

Wind on my collar, carries memories thin

Hoping someday my spirit drifts in

Pre-Chorus

These empty crossroads keep haunting me

Turning circles where hope’s hard to see

Chorus

Lead me to the light so I can forget the night

Been chasing shadows under the same old sky

I have been searchin these long roads of time

Looking for meaning where the answers hide

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Verse 2

Night turns to day and back once more

I see many faces but no one talks no more

These steps, they wander, circles drawn in the sand

At the start again, where I began

Pre-Chorus

O stop this emotional fury, set my soul free

Caught in this turning, longing endlessly

Chorus

Lead me to the light so I can forget the night

Been chasing shadows under the same old sky

I have been searchin these long roads of time

Looking for meaning where the answers hide

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Bridge

Wheels keep turning, the silence is loud

Dreams like rivers, lost in the crowd

I keep on walking, though the reasons fade

Still the road and I, in the balance we’ve made

Verse 3

Stars burning holes in my restless mind

Every answer slips, just out of line

The horizon calls, but it’s ghostly and thin

Still I keep hoping for somewhere I’ll begin

Chorus

Lead me to the light so I can forget the night

Been chasing shadows under the same old sky

I have been searchin these long roads of time

Looking for meaning where the answers hide

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Outro

Golden morning breaking through the haze

Heavy footsteps echo from yesterday’s maze

Still I wander forward, aching and worn

A heart that’s waiting for a reason to be reborn

The miles behind me tangled in regret

But the fire inside refuses to forget

Faded faces drifting out of sight

I’m still hoping for release tonight

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Coda

Sunrise breaking, still I walk these lines

Threads of memory woven through time

Back at the crossroads where silence grew

Faces pass by, but none say what’s true

Every winding question turning in my chest

Years fall away, but I can’t find rest

Wait for the dawn to pull me away

Where hope is gentle and shadows decay

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Refrain

Take me down this endless road

Where longing dreams unfold on their own

If I reach the light I’ll finally see

What’s left of the wandering heart in me

Verse 4

Lonely sunrise painted orange and blue

Empty bottles scattered, tell what I’ve been through

Each quiet promise broken by time’s design

Still these footsteps trace a crooked line

Softly calling through the tangled dawn

The faces I knew are already gone

But echoes of laughter warm the coming day

Somewhere inside, I find the will to stay

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me go, let me know

Oh, let me go, let me know

Tag

Someday I’ll find what I’ve been seeking

Someday these roads will guide me home

A little light breaking through the ceiling

And I’ll know I’m never alone
