Yeah… Some nights, man, the weight don’t lift… You just carry it. Bottle on the counter, cigarette burns slow Radio cracklin’, playin’ songs I don’t know Memories heavy like a chain on my chest I tried prayin’ to the Lord, but He don’t answer my mess Dark nights whisper when the daylight’s gone Every minute feels crooked, every hour feels wrong A photograph framed, but the smile won’t last Just a ghost in the crib, just a voice from the past Darkness killed the coming dawn Felled her heartbeat, stole her song Sunshine cries and rainbows drip Shadows scream at an empty crib mmnnn mnnnmmmm ooooh Neighbors keep talkin’, but they don’t know pain They don’t hear thunder when there ain’t no rain I walk these streets with a hole in my soul Every crack in the sidewalk, man, it swallows me whole I strum six strings till my fingers bleed But the blues don’t give mercy, it just plants the seed And the roots grow deep in the cracks of my mind Ain’t no cure for the hurt that I wake up to find Darkness killed the coming dawn Felled her heartbeat, stole her song Sunshine cries and rainbows drip Shadows scream at an empty crib mmnnn mnnnmmmm ooooh Some say time heals… But the clock just spins… Some wounds stay raw, Don’t matter where you’ve been. Yeah, the night gets longer when the music fades Still hear echoes in the choices they made If you listen real close, past the silence within You’ll hear a lullaby that never begins. mmnnn mnnnmmmm ooooh You’ll hear a lullaby that never begins. mmnnn mnnnmmmm ooooh oooooh
