[Verse 1 – gritty electric guitar, driving bass, mid-tempo drums] Drinking from a broken bottle Pissing in the wind Waiting on some goddamn miracle Just to show itself again The night drags on, the streets are empty Shadows whisper truths I can't defend Waiting on some I ain't got none [Chorus – full band, wailing vocals, bluesy guitar accent] What you gonna do When the walls cave in on you? How you gonna sleep In the bed you never made? Where you gonna hide When the sunlight hits your eyes? And you open them to see Your wasted life [Verse 2 – bluesy guitar licks, grooving bassline, snare-heavy drums] Life ain't what they told me And death ain't what it seems The preacher's drunk on Sundays Spinning some new gospel dreams Singing promises That crumble in the heat I chased illusions But they always cheat [Chorus – more intense, layered guitars, gang backing vocals] What you gonna do When the walls cave in on you? How you gonna sleep In the bed you never made? Where you gonna hide When the sunlight hits your eyes? And you open them to see Your wasted life [Bridge – slow bluesy breakdown, tremolo guitar, vocal growls] It's like crawling through the desert Thirsty as a dog Every step I take The horizon moves off The horizon moves off And my shadow’s all I’ve got [Verse 3 – rising intensity, distorted riffs, crashing cymbals] The sun sets over mountains And I've wasted the whole day Nothing to show but dirty clothes And dirt I can't escape Memories linger like broken glass Cuts that heal too slow to pass The dirt I can't escape The dirt I can't escape [Chorus – climactic, all instruments, passionate vocal delivery] What you gonna do When the walls cave in on you? How you gonna sleep In the bed you never made? Where you gonna hide When the sunlight hits your eyes? And you open them to see Your wasted life [Verse 4 – slow, moody, emotional, building tension] I hear the city breathing Like a beast beneath my feet Every corner holds a story Of a man who faced defeat I’ve fought my own reflection And lost a thousand fights But somewhere in the chaos I still chase the nights [Chorus – final, epic, full band, extended guitar solo] What you gonna do When the walls cave in on you? How you gonna sleep In the bed you never made? Where you gonna hide When the sunlight hits your eyes? And you open them to see Your wasted life [Outro – fading guitars, restrained drums, echoing vocals] And you open them to see Your wasted life And the night swallows everything Leaving only fire and memory
