Lyrics:
In the shadows of the skyscrapers, they roam through empty streets,
Ghosts of the forgotten, lost in the dark concrete.
Eyes glazed with sorrow, chasing dreams that don’t come true,
The city’s heart is broken, and the sky’s a faded blue.
They wander through the ruins of a once-bright cityscape,
Trapped in the illusion, there’s no easy escape.
Whispers of a promise in the poison that they crave,
Life’s a dying ember, and the night becomes their grave.
In the shadows of the skyscrapers
Under the fading twilight, he wanders alone, Where cobblestone whispers of memories have flown. The echoes of laughter now fade in the breeze, As he leaves behind shadows, seeking the seas.
His heart heavy-laden with stories untold, Footsteps now silent, his spirit grown cold. The city he cherished now lost in the past, He walks to the shoreline, where peace might last. Through valleys and meadows, his journey unfolds, With stars as his guide and the night growing bold.
He dreams of the waves that will wash him anew, A horizon of hope where skies are blue. Each step is a promise, a silent decree, To find solace and freedom beside the sea. No longer a prisoner of memories’ chain, He walks toward the ocean, escaping the pain.
He storms away from the shoreline, fists clenched tight in rage, Screaming at the shattered world, a prisoner in his cage. The sky a bruised reminder, of the chaos that remains, His heart a burning ember, in the ruins of the plains.
Through the ashen forest, his anger starts to wane, He stumbles on a shadow, a dog with eyes of pain. Together in the silence, they tread the fractured ground, Two souls lost in the remnants, a bond in ruins found.
They find a place of solace, amidst the wreck and bone, He lights a cigarette, in this wasteland they call home. With the dog beside him, he reflects on what has been, Cherishing the memories, both the light and shadowed scenes.
Together, in the silence.
