[Verse]
Shadows crawl, even under the noon sun
Streetlights off, but his work ain't ever done
Breath tastes stale, like yesterday’s fear
Every corner turned, I know he’s near
[Prechorus]
Daylight, he don’t wait for night
Grin so sharp, it cuts the light
[Chorus]
Playing games with the reaper, stakes too high
Cards on the table, I see his sly eye
Daytime visits, no place to run
No dusk, no dawn—just me and the sun
[Verse 2]
Mirror cracks, but I see his grin in mine
Clock hands stuck, running out of borrowed time
Chained to choices, the dice already rolled
He whispers secrets colder than the gold
[Bridge]
Footsteps heavy, though his shadow’s slim
His laugh a riddle, my chances dim
Can't cheat a dealer with infinite decks
In this house of fear, there’s no rejects
[Chorus]
Playing games with the reaper, stakes too high
Cards on the table, I see his sly eye
Daytime visits, no place to run
No dusk, no dawn—just me and the sun
