Underneath the Shadows

William works for James late at night
In the concrete jungle where the shadows spread
Packages hidden out of sight
Dangerous tides begin to form

The trade is risky, whispers cut through the air
He runs through the city fog
A new substance that ensnares the few cares that remain
Witness the darkness taking over

William has a wife and two children to care for
He's tried other jobs, but nothing seems to last
Life has pushed him down a path of bitter choices
Now he runs through the shadows, trying to hold on

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack

James's empire hangs by a thread
Addicts suffer in silence, in the pain that consumes them
Security in the streets, ready for war
James fights to keep his throne
But the weight already buries him

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack

Haunted eyes stare at a sunless sky
Choices narrow as time runs out
The desperation in the race has begun to take shape
So much still remains, but soon it may dissipate

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack

Surrender in silence, no one dares speak
Under the shadows where fate unravels
Lives are slipping away, falling through the cracks
At night, the world always tries to attack
