Shadow On My Trail

Lyrics

[Intro] Cold breath on the door Footsteps in the black A shape in the hall And I know it's back [Verse 1] You never knock You never call You move like smoke Along the wall I hear that chain I see that grin You live for the chase You love the sin [Pre-Chorus] If I look away You get too close If I lose my grip I become your ghost The floorboards cry The hour is thin One wrong step And you climb back in [Chorus] Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail You taste the fear You smell it now Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail One slip, one blink And I'm gone somehow [Verse 2] You know my name Like a knife in rain You carve it slow Then carve again Every alley bends Every gate feels near You turn my pulse Into a prayer of fear [Pre-Chorus] If I stand my ground You circle wide If I turn too fast You cut the sky The night holds still But I don't freeze I keep my lungs I keep my keys [Chorus] Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail You taste the fear You smell it now Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail One slip, one blink And I'm gone somehow [Bridge] [Half-time] Let the dark come closer I can hear it breathe Let the dark come closer I won't beg, I won't freeze Your hands reach long But the dawn still rises Your vow is rot And my will outlasts it [Final Chorus] Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail You taste the fear You smell it now Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail One slip, one blink And I'm gone somehow Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail I bite back hard I make my stand Shadow on my trail Shadow on my trail You fade to ash I leave your hand
