Shadows In The Glow

[Intro] Yeah… Lights on, but I’m fading… Dancing… dancing alone… [Verse 1] Neon rain on the concrete, city pulses through my veins Bodies moving all around me, but nobody knows my name Bass is shaking up the floor, hearts are beating out of time I’m smiling for the camera, but the mirror shows the lie Pour another in the dark, let the liquor burn the edge Everyone is touching heaven, I’m still stuck here on the ledge Whispers turn into the music, promises dissolve like smoke I’m here but I’m invisible, just another shadow in the strobe [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat loud, but the silence screams Fake connections in these flashing dreams Can’t feel the warmth, can’t break the cold Lost inside a story that was never told [Chorus] I’m dancing alone in a room full of strangers Lights burn bright, but the feeling just fades Everybody’s glowing, everybody’s chasing But I’m moving slow in the glow of the haze Dancing alone… With the weight on my soul Dancing alone… where the music won’t save me Still spinning out of control [Verse 2] Late night, same scene, different faces in the crowd They laugh like nothing’s broken, screaming over the sound I reach out for connection, fingers slip through the air All these pretty illusions, but none of them care High heels click on the marble, perfume mixes with regret I’m counting down the hours till the sun resets One more song, one more high, one more way to disappear In the middle of the party, drowning in the atmosphere [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat loud, but the silence screams Fake connections in these flashing dreams Can’t feel the warmth, can’t break the cold Lost inside a story that was never told [Chorus] I’m dancing alone in a room full of strangers Lights burn bright, but the feeling just fades Everybody’s glowing, everybody’s chasing But I’m moving slow in the glow of the haze Dancing alone… With the weight on my soul Dancing alone… where the music won’t save me Still spinning out of control [Bridge] What if I stopped pretending? Let the mask fall to the floor… Would anybody notice? Would they even ask for more? Just the baseline and the echo… Of a heart that beats no more… [Final Chorus] I’m dancing alone in a room full of strangers Lights burn brighter, but I’m still in the shade Everybody’s glowing, everybody’s chasing I’m the only one who’s already decayed Dancing alone… (echo + pitched-down: alone… alone…) With the weight on my soul Dancing alone… yeah the music surrounds me But I’ll never feel whole [Outro] Dancing… dancing alone… In the glow… Yeah… I’m dancing alone…
