Empty highways leading nowhere
Eyes now tired out from the strain
Forgotten dreams left on the side
Lost in memories that remain
Wasted years in nine to fives
Chasing shadows of youth gone by
Cracks in mirrors showing lines
Truths we can't deny
Fading lights on broken roads
Wandering souls with heavy loads
Silent cries in empty rooms
Hopes consumed in endless glooms
Gray skies overcast the dawn
Morning comes but the thrill is gone
Lifetimes worn and voices weak
In the silence we can hardly speak
Frightened by the ticking clocks
Seeking solace in mundane talks
Once we dreamed of freedom's flight
Trapped in cages built so tight
Fading lights on broken roads
Wandering souls with heavy loads
Silent cries in empty rooms
Hopes consumed in endless glooms
