Streetlights flickering, marking the time
Every reflection is losing its mind
I hear the hum in the back of my head
A secret I’m keeping, a word left unsaid
The pavement is wet and the city is cold
I’m trading the truth for a story that’s told
Through the static that’s burning a hole in the night
I’m chasing the shadow, I’m hunting the light.
(Pre-Chorus)
The walls are sweating, the air is getting thin
I’m letting the rhythm crawl under my skin
No locking the door, no hiding the key
The song is the only thing standing with me
It’s a whisper, it’s a warning, it’s a sharp-edged blade
Watching the choices that I haven’t made.
(Chorus)
It’s chasing the rhythm, it’s closer tonight
Caught in the blur of the midnight light
Lost in the fever, I’m losing the track
The rhythm is pulling, and I’m not looking back
Oh, the silence is heavy, the sirens are near
But the pulse in the speakers is all that I hear.
(Verse 2)
Checking the mirror, but the face isn’t mine
It’s a ghost in the glass, it’s a broken design
The gears are all grinding, the pressure is high
There’s nowhere to run and there’s nowhere to hide
I’m deep in the pocket, I’m deep in the maze
Counting the hours in a neon-lit haze
The faster it beats, the more I can feel
That the fake is the only thing left that is real.
(Bridge)
Is it real? Or just a trick of the mind?
Leaving the pieces of myself behind.
The beat is a cage, the beat is a home
I’m walking the wire, I’m walking alone.
Just one more hit of the sound, let it flow
I’m ready to sink, I’m ready to go!
(Chorus)
It’s chasing the rhythm, it’s closer tonight
Caught in the blur of the midnight light
Lost in the fever, I’m losing the track
The rhythm is pulling, and I’m not looking back
Oh, the silence is heavy, the sirens are near
But the pulse in the speakers is all that I hear.
(Outro)
Midnight… it’s calling my name
Midnight… it’s all just a game
