(Deep breath) Yeah
Late night. Cruising
Just ghosts and me
Cruising down Hollywood, neon lights blurring my view (Blinding)
Checking my phone again, nothing but silence from you (Silent)
Told me we were forever, now it's just echoes and dust (Echoes)
In this velvet dark, I'm running out of trust
We were flying high, now we're falling down so deep (Down deep)
Secrets in the smoke, promises that you couldn't keep
(Uh-huh) Hard heart, cold world, I'm fading to black
Ain't no turn in' back, ain't no taking track (Yeah!)
You ghosted me, left me floating in the urban rain (Rain)
Now I'm numbing the pain, till I don't feel a thing (Numb)
See your face in every stranger passing by my ride
But I know you're just a phantom, with nowhere left to hide
(Slowing down slightly, harmonies layered)
Their cold, piercing stares cut through the deep of night
But the fire in my soul will never lose its light
(Ready to drop)
Chasing ghosts in the city, feeling so hollow and vain (So vain!)
Just a whisper of your shadow, driving me totally insane
Dancing on the edge, yeah, the air is so clear (Hah!)
Say goodbye to the memories and the fear
We ain't stopping, we ain't falling (We won't fall!)
Everything’s a mess, but I’m standing tall!
(Go! Go! Yeah, feel the heat!)
(Drums removed, atmospheric pads only)
Used to be us against the whole wide world
Now it's just silence, not a single word
(Drums come back, building intensity)
No more lies, no more fear!
(Shouting) Raise your voice! Right now! (Hoo!)
Chasing ghosts in the city, feeling so hollow and vain (So vain!)
Just a whisper of your shadow, driving me totally insane
Dancing on the edge, yeah, the air is so clear (Hah!)
Say goodbye to the memories and the fear
We ain't stopping, we ain't falling (We won't fall!)
Welcome to my nightmare, now watch me shine!
(Shine on... Shine on...) Ghosts in the city
(Shine on... Shine on...) No pity
(Whisper)"System error... Wake."
(Fading out with a slow distorted synth)
