Shadow Games (main ver) by and for Fading Fox

Intro

Soft electric guitar riff with light delay.

Slow drums come in—steady, lazy beat.

Bass slides under, warm and low.

Verse

Neon hum through the windowpane,

Coffee’s cold but I’m wide awake,

City lights play tricks again,

Echoed laughter I can’t escape.

Your shadow dances down the hall,

Flickers once, then fades to grey,

I call your name, no sound at all,

Guess some ghosts just like to play.

Chorus

Shadow games, she plays,

Late during the midnight haze,

Every word just drifts away,

Still I chase her anyway.

Shadow games, she plays,

Lost between the night and day,

Every step, a dream decays,

But I can’t stop the chase.

Verse

Soft perfume on an empty chair,

Vinyl spins, but no one’s there,

Her voice is smoke, it fills the air,

A melody that pulls me where—

The silence hums in stereo,

My heartbeats sync, they come and go,

She left a spark I can’t let go,

In the dark, I see her glow.

Chorus

Shadow games, she plays,

Late during the midnight haze,

Every word just drifts away,

Still I chase her anyway.

Shadow games, she plays,

Lost between the night and day,

Every step, a dream decays,

But I can’t stop the chase.

Bridge

Ooh, she moves like a memory fades,

Ooh, caught in the mess we made,

If I could stay, I’d stay,

But the night just pulls away.

Chorus

Shadow games, she plays,

Late during the midnight haze,

Every word just fades away,

But I still chase her ghost each day.

Outro

Guitar echoes into the night.

Soft static fades.

Last whisper:

Shadow games… she plays…
