Shattered Dreams and Empty Bottles

[Intro] [Verse 1] Another pill to numb the pain, another night down the drain, Whiskey burns like gasoline, but the ghosts still remain. Mirror cracks reflect the lies, hollow eyes memorize, A symphony of silent screams beneath the empty skies. [Pre-Chorus] Chasing highs to fill the void, but the void’s a twisted friend, Promises you can’t avoid, on the road that has no end. [Chorus] Shattered dreams and empty bottles, a broken soul that no one follows, Ash and dust in every vein, the devil laughs with your pain. One last toast to fading light, an ancient poem I shall recite, A requiem for the lost and numb, the grave’s where we all become. [Verse 2] Cigarette butts line the floor, regrets knock at the door, Friends are just a memory, now the silence starts to roar. Needle sings a lullaby, but it’s just another lie, The clock ticks toward the end, all alone you're left to die. [Pre-Chorus] Bleeding out in borrowed time, shadows tearing at your spine, The antidote’s a poisoned rhyme, upon your back they will climb. [Chorus] Shattered dreams and empty bottles, a broken soul that no one follows, Ash and dust in every vein, the devil laughs with your pain. One last toast to fading light, an ancient poem I shall recite, A requiem for the lost and numb, the grave’s where we all become. [Bridge] (Guitar solo: raw, distorted, descending into chaos) [Outro]
