[Verse] In a town of whispers lost in haze Chasing ghosts through endless maze Mirror's edge of what is true Dreams collide in shades of blue [Verse 2] Silent screams in crowded street Empty hearts and restless feet City lights can't hide the scars Staring up at distant stars [Chorus] I've been running from the shadows Echoes in my mind Reality a fragile line Leaving truth behind [Verse 3] Cold reflections staring back Fractured soul on broken track Moments fade like morning dew Nothing here feels quite as true [Verse 4] Haunted by the weight of doubt Cries within I can't let out Blurred between the wrong and right Lost within the endless night [Chorus] I've been running from the shadows Echoes in my mind Reality a fragile line Leaving truth behind

[Verse] Woke up in a haze the sun don’t shine Another empty bottle another lonely line Staring at the ceiling lost in my mind These shadows on the wall they’re the company I find [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Verse 2] Echoes of old laughter hanging in the air Whispers of a love no longer there Chasing dreams that scatter everywhere Running from the memories I can’t bear [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Bridge] When the nights are long and cold And the stories all grow old I close my eyes and see the past unfold In these shadows I hold [Verse 3] The dawn is breaking but it feels the same All these reminders playing their cruel game I’m a racer in a race I can’t rename Lost in a puzzle I can never tame
[Verse] Sands of time keep drifting by Pharaohs live yet never die Golden hues beneath the sun Songs of age and battles won [Chorus] Whispers from the desert lands Mysteries we can't withstand Hieroglyphs they tell our tale In the wind our voices sail [Verse 2] Underneath a scarab moon River Nile sings ancient tune Sphinxes guard the secrets deep Dreams of kings in timeless sleep [Chorus] Whispers from the desert lands Mysteries we can't withstand Hieroglyphs they tell our tale In the wind our voices sail [Bridge] Pyramids they touch the sky Legends live they never lie History carved in every stone In their shadow we’ve grown [Chorus] Whispers from the desert lands Mysteries we can't withstand Hieroglyphs they tell our tale In the wind our voices sail

I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark

[Verse] Walking down a dusty road under a sky of tangerine Thinking 'bout the nights we fought cried and everything in between Hard love's a wild storm it cuts through bone and skin It breaks you down builds you up leaves you rattling within [Verse 2] Your whispers like a hurricane your touch a lightning bolt We'd break the dawn in pieces and mend it with our hopes Hard love's a heavy chain cold as winter’s breath It grabs you tight won't let go 'til there’s nothing left [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more [Verse 3] Underneath the silver moon when the world is fast asleep I feel your heartbeat echoes in secrets we must keep Hard love's a bitter taste sweet with memories It tears us down but also lets us see [Bridge] In the silence of the night in the wreckage of the day We fight through fog and shadows find another way Hard love like a war cry fierce without shame It leaves us bruised and broken but never quite the same [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more

[Verse] Two grown men we stand here tall Brothers in arms we’ve seen it all Yet in the dark we feel so small Kindred spirits at the call [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Verse 2] In a world that's wild and free We’ve held our ground just you and me No regrets and no decree We'll find our way eventually [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Bridge] Laughing at the nights we've missed Trading dreams and reckless lists Innocence in every twist Together we will both persist [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure
