Ghosts on a Rain‑Slick Street

Lyrics

Shadows and Lies [Intro] Rain falls heavy on these empty streets, Every step sounds like a memory. I still hear your voice in the static, Like a ghost that refuses to leave. --- [Verse 1] In the alley where whispers crawl Truth shattered like a broken wall Your shadow looms in the dead of night Cold betrayal in the pale streetlight Every promise turned into smoke, Every word another joke. I built a home inside your heart, You lit the match and watched it fall apart. --- [Pre-Chorus] You watched me drown without a sound, Left my world beneath the ground. Now every breath feels cold inside, Buried underneath your lies. --- [Verse 2] Empty promises and bloodstained hands Cracks in the ground where trust can't stand You left a mark like a rusted blade Now the fire in me starts to fade The silence echoes through these halls, Your name still lingers on the walls. Every scar reminds me why Some wounds never truly die. --- [Chorus] Shadows and lies fill the air tonight A heart torn apart no wrong feels right Darkness consumes the space we shared Now I'm lost in the silence unprepared Still I search for a spark to ignite, Some small reason left to fight. If hope still lives beneath the pain, I'll find myself again. --- [Verse 3] The clock ticks loud in the void we made Memories rot in the mess we laid Your face a ghost in the back of my mind A truthless soul impossible to find I carried your weight for far too long, Mistaking weakness for being strong. Now the chains begin to crack, And there's no turning back. --- [Bridge] I scream to the sky but it won't reply The echoes laugh as I wonder why Your venom runs deep it burns my veins In this hollow night only darkness remains But every storm runs out of rain, Every scar can heal with pain. You don't decide the end of me, I'll become what I was meant to be. --- [Breakdown] You can keep your empty words, All the silence, all the hurt. I buried who I used to be, Now there's nothing left to steal from me. --- [Final Chorus] Shadows and lies fill the air tonight A heart torn apart no wrong feels right Darkness consumes the space we shared Now I'm lost in the silence unprepared But the dawn is breaking through the gray, One more chance, one more day. You left me shattered, that's the truth, But you couldn't take my roots. Shadows and lies may fill the night, But they can't kill this fading light. I'll carry every scar with pride, And leave your ghost behind. --- [Outro] The rain still falls... The streets still bleed... But your voice grows quieter With every step I leave. Where darkness lived, A fire remains. And this time... I'm walking away.
