Spotlight Shadows

Verse
In the glimmer of the stage lights, shadows dance,
I wear a painted smile, it’s just my chance,
To dive into the echoes, drown in the gleam,
But underneath the laughter, lies the fraying seam.

The cameras flash like stars that pierce the night,
Yet all they capture is a fractured light,
Behind the curtain whispers, lost in the scheme,
Avoiding all the limelight, is my silent dream.

Chorus
Life in the spotlight, not all as it seems,
Wrapped in silver fabric, stitched with broken dreams,
A masquerade of colors, fading like a sigh,
I find my peace in shadows, where the quiet lies.

Verse
I wander through the corridors, chasing ghosts of shame,
Where every fleeting moment feels like just a game,
In the mirrors of reflection, I find my silent plea,
The truth hidden away deep, in the spaces I don’t see.

The fame, a beautiful illusion, a heart wrapped in chains,
With every note I play now, I'm grappling with the pains,
Yet in the echoes of the silence, I can hear my heart's decree,
Avoiding all the limelight, has been the way for me.

Chorus
Life in the spotlight, not all as it seems,
Wrapped in silver fabric, stitched with broken dreams,
A masquerade of colors, fading like a sigh,
I find my peace in shadows, where the quiet lies.

Bridge
So let them take their photos, let them write their tales,
I’ll stay behind the curtain, where my spirit never fails,
For in the depths of twilight, where the softest whispers play,
I’ll find my heart's reflection in the light of fading day.

Outro
Life in the spotlight, it’s a beautiful disguise,
But in the shadows of my longing, my true self slowly lies,
Avoiding all the limelight, where my solace will forever be,
In the stillness of the twilight, I discover what is free.
