In the alleys of our youth, where laughter used to reign
You slipped into a shadow, began to court the pain
From the heights of our dreams, to the gutters of despair
A friend once unbreakable, now gasping for air
Shouting into the void, can you hear me
Hoping you find the light and break free
Lost in a world that is so unforgiving
I'm here, still believing, you'll start living
With each step you wandered, further from the light
Chasing twisted fantasies, that vanished in the night
Your laughter turned to silence, your spark began to fade
In the company of strangers, your debts were left unpaid
But I still see the kid who was fearless and free
The one who shared dreams and the skate ramps with me
Now you're lost in the haze of a life gone astray
But I won't let your memory just wither away
The streets still echo, with ghosts of our youth
But your smile's a shadow, hiding the truth
I reach through the distance, but you pull away
Lost in the darkness, as you drift astray
Hey there, shadow friend, break free from your cage
Rise above the darkness, it's time to turn the page
Hey there, shadow friend, don't let this be the end
Find your way back to the light, my lost, shadow friend
In the alleys of our youth, where we carved out our names
I'll keep the torch burning, through the heartache and flames
And if you ever find your way back to the start
Know there's a place for you here, deep in my heart
