Chasing Phantoms

[Instrumental Intro] .... .... .... .... [Instrumental Variations] .... .... .... .... [Building] .... .... [Instrument Break] [Verse 1 (Reflective with Anger)] Staring at the cracks, the paint peels on the wall Another wasted year, a life I let stall Laughter turned to silence, dreams turned into dust Haunted by the choices, the chances I couldn't trust [Mournful Chorus] Chasing phantoms, embers in the breeze Moments fading like whispers barely heard Fading memories appease, a bittersweet sting Searching for forever, what will the future bring [Verse 2 (Yearning with Regret)] Sunrise paints the sky, another chance to fight But the fire's dwindled low, lost in the endless night Building castles in the sand, fists clenched at the tide Why did I waste the moments, where does my purpose hide? [Epic Soaring Chorus] Chasing phantoms, embers in the breeze Moments fading like whispers barely heard Fading memories appease, a bittersweet sting Searching for forever, what will the future bring? [Bridge (Despairing)] Is this it? A fleeting spark in the dark? A constant chase for something, leaving an empty mark? Will these regrets consume me, a prisoner of the past? Or can I find a flicker, a reason to make it last? [Memorable, Catchy Chorus] Chasing phantoms, embers in the breeze (with a glimmer of hope) Moments fading like whispers, carried by the breeze Holding on tighter, this time it won't stray Searching for forever, even if it's just a day [Screaming Outro] What of my soul! (Ooh Ooh Ooh) [Epic Guitar Solo] [Instrumental] .... .... [Outro Variations] .... .... [Fade out] .... .... [End]
