Shadows of the Smile by Phase Chroma

Lyrics: [Verse] A flicker of gold in a sea of gray It dances close then drifts away The wind whispers secrets I can't keep Life's a thief who never lets me sleep [Prechorus] It hands me a dream Just to watch it fall A moment of light Then nothing at all [Chorus] Shadows of the smile They haunt me still A taste of joy Then the bitter pill Every step forward feels like a lie But I’ll keep walking till the day I die [Verse 2] The sky paints promises it won’t defend A sunrise that fades before it begins The echo of laughter turns to a scream Happiness feels like a cruel dream [Prechorus] It pulls me close Just to let me go A fleeting warmth in the freezing snow [Chorus] Shadows of the smile They haunt me still A taste of joy Then the bitter pill Every step forward feels like a lie But I’ll keep walking till the day I die [Bridge] The flicker of gold always fades in the dust I only walk forward on memory and rust This cruel dream keeps telling my feet to run I’ll break the cycle or walk until I'm numb [Chorus] Shadows of the smile They haunt me still A taste of joy Then the bitter pill Every step forward feels like a lie But I’ll keep walking till the day I die
