Lonesome Streets

[Verse] Cracked pavement under soles worn thin Neon lights flicker in the bitter wind Ghosts of yesterday whisper through the din Lost in the echoes of where I've been [Verse 2] Broken dreams in the gutter washed away Gnawing hunger keeps the night at bay Old wounds ache with the final say Shadows dance where the memories lay [Chorus] Oh lonely streets where the heart did roam Seeking refuge never found a home In the alleys of despair I comb For a place to rest my weary bones [Verse 3] Rusty strings on a guitar never in tune Songs of sorrow under a bloodshot moon Hope's a mirage gone all too soon In a world that spins a twisted loom [Bridge] Silent tears fall unheard in the night Catch the fragments of a fading light Bitter truths and the endless fight Seeking meaning in the hollow sight [Verse 4] Billboards scream all the dreams for sale Empty promises on a crooked trail Lost the innocence behind the veil In the grit and grime where good hearts fail
