Crowds in Shadows

Verse 1: In a room full of faces, Painted smiles, empty gazes, Walls closing in, heart races, Silent screams in crowded spaces. Pre-Chorus: Every step, the ground sways, Every nod, a maze of hallways, Every "hello" feels astray, Every glance steals the air away. Chorus: I’m hiding in the light, Dancing with my plight, In the crowds, I find my fight, Shadows hold me tight. Verse 2: Laughter echoes like a riddle, Connection thins, feelings whittle, A sea of faces, I'm the island, Among the throng, a silent highland. Pre-Chorus: Small talk like a steep climb, Syllables that can't rhyme, Every laugh feels like a mime, Every cheer feels out of time. Chorus: I’m hiding in the light, Dancing with my plight, In the crowds, I find my fight, Shadows hold me tight. Bridge: Can you see me, in the back? Hiding in my self-made shack? Yearning for some slack, In this social cul-de-sac. Chorus: I’m hiding in the light, Dancing with my plight, In the crowds, I find my fight, Shadows hold me tight. Outro: In the crowd, I find my cue, Under lights, I see them through, In the shadows, I renew, Quietly, softly, into the view.
