End of the Line

(Verse 1) The city lights flicker, like ghosts on the run, Echoes of laughter fade, swallowed by the gun. Battered storefronts whisper, promises they’ll keep, While the clock ticks louder, it steals away my sleep. (Chorus) Here we are, at the end of the line, With shadows of dreams that once danced in the shine. Rusted hearts beating, to a song of the lost, Counting all the bridges, and the bridges we've crossed. (Verse 2) The streets are full of faces, but none that I know, Fragments of our glory, dispersed in the snow. It feels like we're drifting, the sky's painted gray, In this bleak direction, will we fade away? (Chorus) Here we are, at the end of the line, With shadows of dreams that once danced in the shine. Rusted hearts beating, to a song of the lost, Counting all the bridges, and the bridges we've crossed. (Rap) Yeah, I'm cruising through the twilight, shadows in my rear, Life’s a ticking clock, can you hear that final cheer? Every moment’s like a page, flipping close to the end, Lessons learned, bridges burned, but I still hold my pen. (Bridge) And the sirens are wailing, as the world turns cold, We’re just fleeting moments, in a story untold. I reach for the ghosts that haunt me in the night, But they slip through my fingers, like a flickering light. (Verse 3) The memories linger, tattooed on my skin, Of laughter and sorrow, oh, where do I begin? The ashes of our yesterdays, scattered in the wind, As I stand on this threshold, knowing we won’t win. (Chorus) Here we are, at the end of the line, With shadows of dreams that once danced in the shine. Rusted hearts beating, to a song of the lost, Counting all the bridges, and the bridges we've crossed. (Rap) Stars fading out, like dreams I chase at night, Fighting for my truth, turning darkness into light, Approaching the end, got my eyes on the prize, Living every second, in this life, I’ll rise. Counting every heartbeat, no regrets in my flow, I embrace the finish line, ready for what I know, So here’s to the journey, scars and all in sight, I’m not just approaching the end, I’m taking flight. (Outro) So I’ll light a candle, for the times that we had, For the fleeting moments, both the bright and the sad. As the curtain falls slowly, I’ll whisper your name, At the end of this journey, we’re all just the same. (Instrumental) (repeat Chorus) (end)
