The glass is heavy
But my grip is light
Staring at the neon
Drowning out the fight
The world feels crooked
Spinning too slow
In the corner
A melody starts to glow
A shadow hums a tune
Sharp and deep
A song that cuts through where the sorrow keeps
Windows rattle as the night grows long
The room’s heartbeat plays the same old song
Shoes are scuffed
But they're tapping in time
The rhythm drips like a sweet
Forgotten rhyme
Strangers whisper their stories in the air
While I sink deeper into the truth we share
A shadow hums a tune
Sharp and deep
A song that cuts through where the sorrow keeps
Windows rattle as the night grows long
The room’s heartbeat plays the same old song
That brass in the air
It gives me chills
Like it holds the ghost of a thousand wills
It curves and it cries
A solo so raw
And I can’t help but sit there
In quiet awe
The light flickers
The crowd fades away
Lost in the sound
Caught in its sway
This room might as well be frozen in time
One last note
And it's no longer mine
A shadow hums a tune
Sharp and deep
A song that cuts through where the sorrow keeps
Windows rattle as the night grows long
The room’s heartbeat plays the same old song
