Sunrise cracks through dusty blinds
Another day I try to face This motel room. A lonely tomb
Whispers of a better place
Memories like faded smoke
Dreams I chased and couldn't hold
This hollow heart, a broken part
Feels nothing but the winter's cold
Everybody's got a broken road
A highway paved with shattered dreams
The weight of the world, a heavy load
A never-ending shadow stream
But the heartaches got me by the throat
And the darkness takes its toll
Nothing left to fight for anymore
Just this empty hollow soul
Whiskey bottle, my only friend
Reflects the emptiness inside
Each burning sip. A bitter trip
Down a memory's dusty tide
Faces blur, a broken blur of promises I couldn't keep
This wasted life, a butcher's knife
That carved my future bittersweet
The highway stretches out ahead, but the engine won't turn over
The fuel of hope is lost instead, and the spirit's growing colder
Maybe, freedom lies in letting go
Of the dreams, that used to shine
But the shadows whisper, don't you know
There's nothing left but this decline
Streetlamp flickers, cast a sigh
On this city's restless sleep
Another night, another fight
With demons that I can't defeat
The laughter's gone, the music's done
The silence screams a mournful plea. This empty world, a flag unfurled
The hopelessness eternally
Everybody's got a broken road
A highway paved with shattered dreams
The weight of the world a heavy load
A never-ending shadowed stream
But the heartaches got me by the throat
And the darkness takes its toll
Nothing left to fight for anymore
Just this empty hollow soul
