Eyes in the Shadows

City's breathing, feels alive,

But something stirs just out of sight,

Footsteps echo where no one goes,

A chill on my neck that only grows.

Lights in the alley, flicker and fade,

I sense a presence in this masquerade,

Can't shake the feeling, I'm not alone,

A silent watcher of flesh and bone.

There's eyes in the shadows, hauntin' me,

Can't run, can't hide, they're all I see,

A ghostly gaze that knows my name,

Followin' close like a midnight flame

Eyes in the shadows, playin' their game.

I turn a corner, but they're right there,

A shadow's whisper, a breath of air,

Faces blur in the neon glow,

But that gaze, it follows wherever I go.

Street's got secrets, dark and deep,

Watchers hidden where shadows creep,

They don't speak, they just observe,

With eyes that cut and nerves that curve.

There's eyes in the shadows, hauntin' me,

Can't run, can't hide, they're all I see,

A ghostly gaze that knows my name,

Followin' close like a midnight flame

Eyes in the shadows, playin' their game.

I'm caught in a trance, under their spell,

An endless dance, a private hell,

They see it all, each step I take,

Watching me with every breath I make.

No escape from their silent view,

In the darkness, they see right through

Eyes in the shadows, haunting true,

All I see are eyes on you.
