Shadows in the Vein

[Intro] [Verse 1] A siren’s whisper in the midnight air, Promised heaven but left me bare. Silver needle, a fleeting friend, Stole the light I couldn’t mend. [Chorus] Oh, the chains in the haze, they never lie, A broken compass, a stolen sky. One more hit to numb the pain, But the shadows in the vein remain. [Verse 2] The mirror cracks with every breath, A hollow soul rehearsing death. Pale reflections, a ghost’s refrain, Echoes of my name, drowned in rain. [Chorus] Oh, the chains in the haze, they never lie, A broken compass, a stolen sky. One more hit to numb the pain, But the shadows in the vein remain. [Bridge] I’m a phantom in the smoke, a fading cry, Chasing demons through a bloodshot eye. The fire in my veins, it screams and pleads, But the cure’s just another kind of disease. [Chorus] Oh, the chains in the haze, they never lie, A broken compass, a stolen sky. One more hit to numb the pain, But the shadows in the vein remain. [Outro]
