Shadows and Smoke

[Verse]
Hoodie over my head, dark clouds on repeat,
Concrete jungle hums under tired feet.
Voices in the walls, or maybe just my brain,
City bleeds neon, but I’m drowning in the rain.
[Prechorus]
Every step feels heavier, a sinking ship,
Hollowed out heart, cracks in the grip.
[Chorus]
Shadows and smoke, that's all I know,
Broken glass dreams, they cut as they glow.
Shadows and smoke, it swallows me whole,
Where do you go, when you’ve lost your soul?
[Verse 2]
Pills on the dresser, phone face down,
Text unread, but it still weighs a pound.
Mirror shows a stranger, who’s staring back?
Smile long gone, now it’s cracks in the mask.
[Chorus]
Shadows and smoke, that's all I know,
Broken glass dreams, they cut as they glow.
Shadows and smoke, it swallows me whole,
Where do you go, when you’ve lost your soul?
[Bridge]
I scream at the ceiling, but it don’t reply,
Counting the stars in this empty sky.
A flicker of hope, but the wind blows it out,
Faith in the dark, or just shadows of doubt?
