Lyrics
verse
City lights no comfort
Empty streets just shadows dance
Faces changing pace so fast
Lost in night no second chance
verse 2
Pain in heart can't be tamed
Addiction's grip it's all I know
Wander through the dark alone
Trust in love no place to grow
chorus
In the city of shadows
Where the darkness swallows
Every dream I hold close
And there's nowhere to go
verse 3
Midnight whispers cold and cruel
Echoes of a love that's wrong
In this maze I'm just a fool
Running blind been lost so long
verse 4
Through the alleys through the pain
Hoping just to find my way
Broken dreams and every gain
In this night they fade away
bridge
Shadows dance around my fears
Every step brings silent tears
Faces change but all I see
Is the darkness surrounding me
chorus
In the city of shadows
Where the darkness swallows
Every dream I hold close
And there's nowhere to go
