Echoes of Despair

[Verse] Woke up to the sound of a shattered sky Broken dreams scattered like glass Roaring engines outside my window Raging against the night's cold grasp [Verse 2] Walkin' down that worn-out road Concrete jungle chewin' my soul Faces in the shadows all the same Livin' in a world that's lost control [Chorus] Echoes of despair howl in the wind Ghosts of the past won't let me be Chain links rattle and my spirit screams Battlin' the blues to set myself free [Verse 3] Whiskey bottle's my only friend Demon whispers won't let me be Guitar strings are bleeding raw Strikin' chords of angry harmony [Bridge] Lightning flashes across the sky Thunderous beats in my chest Dreams swallowed by the night Fightin' the grind never rest [Verse 4] City lights fade in the distance Hopes buried under pavement weight Crawl through the muck and mire Fueled by hate I won't hesitate
