Broken Dreams

[Verse] Smoky aisles Where I found solace In band tees and emotion-filled space But now the news has shattered my heart Hot Topic Falling apart Endless nights spent flipping through racks Finding comfort in emo tracks But now the world has turned upside down Hot Topic's gone Lost and never found [Verse 2] Piercings Black nails Tattoos displayed Hot Topic was where we all embraced But now the darkness fades away As the store crumbles Day by day [Chorus] We wore our hearts upon our sleeves In the sanctuary of Hot Topic's eaves But now the lights have dimmed to gray Hot Topic's demise Our emo haven fades away [Bridge] Gone are the days of studded belts And vinyl records on the shelves The echo of nostalgia's cry As Hot Topic bids its last goodbye [Punk guitar solo] [Outro] But in our hearts, the spirit remains Of teenage angst and emo strains Though the store may close its door The legacy lives forevermore [Fade Out] [End]
