[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, acoustic guitar strumming] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals, bass and drums enter] Walking down the empty streets Thinking about my lonely life The streetlights flicker in the dark Leaving shadows on my path I hear the echo of my steps Reminding me of what I've lost [Chorus] [distorted electric guitars enter, driving drums] Where do I go when the world's asleep And the silence is too loud to bear I'm searching for a light to lead me home But there's nobody left standing there (Oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] [drums drop to eighth-note hi-hat pattern] I see the faces in the glass Of memories that fade too fast They smile and then they turn away Into the dark they start to stray I'm just a ghost of who I was Searching for a reason just because [Chorus] [full band intensity] Where do I go when the world's asleep And the silence is too loud to bear I'm searching for a light to lead me home But there's nobody left standing there [piano enters] Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine Maybe tomorrow I'll find my time But tonight I'm just wandering free In this vast dark eternity [Bridge] [guitar solo with overdrive, melodic phrasing] [Chorus] [crescendo] Where do I go when the world's asleep And the silence is too loud to bear I'm searching for a light to lead me home But there's nobody left standing there (Oh-oh-oh) [Outro] [acoustic guitar arpeggio, electric guitar fades out] [Instrumental]
