[Intro]
WAKE UP!

​[Verse 1]
Yo, she left with a suitcase and a heart full of hope
Now she’s hanging on the edge of a frayed-out rope
Traded the valley for the alley and the neon glow
Fast life, fast cash, yeah, she’s losing control
One hit, two hits, now she’s living in a haze
Lost in the labyrinth, a chemical maze
She was looking for a job, now she’s working the street
Selling pieces of her soul just to get something to eat!
(Let's go!)

​[Pre-Chorus]
The signal went dead in the middle of June
She’s dancing with demons by the light of the moon
I’m screaming her name into the smog and the rain!

​[Chorus]
She’s a whisper in the alley, she’s a shadow on the wall
I’m walking through the ruins, waiting for the call
The streets tell a story that I don’t want to hear
Of a girl who got lost and just disappeared!
I know that she’s gone, I know that she’s dead
But I’m still chasing ghosts in this city of lead!

​[Verse 2]
I’m hitting every corner, asking "Have you seen her face?"
But people look right through me like I’m taking up their space
They say "Forget her, kid, she’s just another ghost
Another broken angel that the city liked the most"
I’m seeing shadows of her shadow in the back of the bars
Searching for a heartbeat under smog-covered stars
The pavement is a predator, it swallowed her whole
Now I’m digging through the trash just to find her soul!

​[Bridge]
I see her face in every passing light...
BUT SHE’S NEVER COMING HOME TONIGHT!

​[Breakdown]
YOU TOOK HER FROM ME!
THIS CITY IS A GRAVE!
STILL LOOKING! STILL SEARCHING!

​[Final Chorus]
She’s a whisper in the alley, she’s a shadow on the wall
I’m walking through the ruins, waiting for the call
The streets tell a story that I don’t want to hear
Of a girl who got lost and just disappeared!
I know that she’s gone, I know that she’s dead
But I’m still chasing ghosts in this city of lead!

​[Outro]
I’m still walking.
I’m never leaving you behind.

(End)
