Burning Through the Haze 2 (Version 2)

Verse

I run the shadows where the stars go cold

Through streets that know me like my own blood

Bare feet on the pavement, fire in my chest

Every step I take is leaving something dead

My eyes are open to a city full of pain

This concrete heart beats for one thing alone: escape

The sirens screaming like they're warning me away

I'm burning through the haze with every passing ray

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling, louder than the night?

Something's building in my soul and it won't take flight

We don't have much time but I'll chase this light to the end

Hold on tight, we're running out of space to bend

Chorus

Burning through the haze where the city goes to sleep

I'm searching for a fire that only silence keeps

Every step is chasing down the dark inside my head

Burning through the haze until I find what I've been told to be

Verse 2

Sirens fade into a hum, a static in my ear

Every shadow knows me like an old, familiar fear

Neon skies above are bleeding out their light

I'm running for the exit but it's always one step back tonight

Your eyes lock onto mine from across the smoke

We don't need words because this flame we share is spoke

In every glance I see a spark that only we know how to keep

Together, burning through the haze until our hearts are free

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling, louder than the night?

Something's building in my soul and it won't take flight

We don't have much time but I'll chase this light to the end

Hold on tight, we're running out of space to bend

Chorus

Burning through the haze where the city goes to sleep

I'm searching for a fire that only silence keeps

Every step is chasing down the dark inside my head

Burning through the haze until I find what I've been told to be

Bridge

We don't need names or streets to call our own

Just this pulse between us, burning right on home

Let go of everything we never had before

I'm walking out into a light that's not my floor

Chorus

Burning through the haze where the city goes to sleep

I'm searching for a fire that only silence keeps

Every step is chasing down the dark inside my head

Burning through the haze until I find what I've been told to be
