I’m chasing shadows in my own sight
Running farther from my old life
I’m chasing shadows to escape
To forget about the pain
I’m chasing shadows in the night
To escape my state of mind

I’m running through these days
With the whole world in my way
Like some traffic jam of rage
In the madness of my brain
It’s like I just might go insane
If I don’t find me an escape
But for now I’m at the gates
It might be a bit too late

So, I’m chasing shadows in my own sight
Running farther from my old life
I’m chasing shadows to escape
To forget about the pain
I’m chasing shadows in the night
To escape my state of mind

I was in a tortured love song
With a girl who did me all wrong
But I loved her with my whole heart
Til that day when she was gone
Now I’m lost and I’m unsung
For that girl and all she’s done
Now I’m looking for an answer
About why I can’t forget her
Why I’m chasing what is lost

Now, I’m chasing shadows in my own sight
Running farther from my old life
I’m chasing shadows to escape
To forget about the pain
I’m chasing shadows in the night
To escape my state of mind

To love and give my whole life
Was such a blessing in its own right
Until the moment that I realized
I was nothing but a thrill ride
Some way to stiffen up her own pride
As she tears me up inside
And until I can unwind
I’d like to erase that life
But, I’m chasing shadows in my own sight
Running farther from my old life
I’m chasing shadows to escape
To forget about the pain
I’m chasing shadows in the night
To escape my state of mind

I should’ve never stayed so long
I should’ve known that wasn’t love
I should’ve seen that it was wrong
I should’ve just got up and run

But I’m not as smart as I want to be
I just let her take parts of me
And throw them all away
Now, the parts are just a memory
Like the love she used to break me
To cause me so much pain

But now, I’m chasing shadows in my own sight
Running farther from my old life
I’m chasing shadows to escape
To forget about the pain
I’m chasing shadows in the night
To escape my state of mind

Now, I’m searching for a new life
Diving deep into the night life
On a path to nowhere’s light
In the darkness of my mind
I’m chasing shadows in the night
I’m chasing dreams trapped in my mind
That echo memories in my life
I’ll chase the shadows til I find
A little peace that makes it right
To learn this lesson from her lies
I’ll chase these shadows til I die
