Shadow in the Rearview

Neon lights flicker on cracked cement

Breathing in shadows, tangled in regret

Jawline tight, cigarette burning slow

Riding solo with nowhere left to go

Dust swirling up on these empty streets

Echoes of past dreams under my feet

Night falls heavy on the city walls

A drifting soul to every siren’s call

Caught between fear and the pain I know

Running from a ghost that won’t let go

Every road I cross, every deadbeat show

Still haunted by the secrets I never show

My heart’s a phantom in the rearview glow

Speakers rattling with a warped old tune

Memphis echoes fill the lonely room

Rearview smudged with forgotten cries

Flashing memories I can’t deny

Hood up, cold sweat on my face

Still searching for a familiar place

Night falls heavy on the city walls

A drifting soul to every siren’s call

Caught between fear and the pain I know

Running from a ghost that won’t let go

Every road I cross, every deadbeat show

Still haunted by the secrets I never show

My heart’s a phantom in the rearview glow

Under violet street lamps, time stands still

Twisting the wheel by desperate will

Reflections flicker with a silent scream

Darkness falling down, killing every dream

Can I drive out of this broken thrill?

Caught between fear and the pain I know

Running from a ghost that won’t let go

Every road I cross, every deadbeat show

Still haunted by the secrets I never show

My heart’s a phantom in the rearview glowCold engine whispers goodbye

Dissolve in the smoke and sigh

Shadow in the rearview—just passing by
