Streetlights

[Intro] [clean palm-muted electric guitar arpeggio] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] Another late night Empty screen glow Shadows dance slow Where did all the time go? [Pre-Chorus] [distorted guitar enters, palm-muted chugging] Streetlights blur neon haze in my eyes Another broken promise, another forced disguise Trying to drown the memories in a purple-tinted cup Guess I'm still fucked up, never gonna give it up Just waiting for the sun to rise Or maybe just to finally hear your voice No answer to my call [Verse 2] [clean guitar arpeggio returns, light percussion] Ghost of your laugh still haunts my empty room Every faded picture just deepens the gloom Roll another one up, watch the smoke disappear Wishing you were closer, wishing you were here Used to talk for hours, now I just talk to the wall Praying for a message, waiting for a sign at all [Chorus] [full band enters, high-gain distorted guitars, driving drums] Can't shake this feeling, heavy in my chest Another pill to swallow, trying to put my mind to rest Chasing fleeting moments through a cracked-out lens Wishing this pain would finally come to an end Yeah, I'm stuck in the past, forever caught in the rain Whispering your name just to feel the fuckin' pain [Bridge] [half-time drum feel, heavy guitar accents] Wake up in a cold sweat, screaming out your name Realize it's just a dream, feel the neon flame Black tar on my fingers, whiskey on my breath Living every day like I'm dancing with death Empty promises whispered, broken R.I.P. Guess this lonely heartache is just bittersweet [Outro] [guitars transition to clean arpeggios, drums fade] Maybe I'm broken Beyond repair, beyond all saving Lost in the echoes of a love that's still engraving Its mark on my soul, a permanent tattoo Wishing I could go back, wishing I still had you Every scar a story, every lie I tell Just to get through the night, escape this living hell Flicker of a memory then it's gone with the wind Another lonely sunrise, where do I begin? Stuck in the loop, chasing ghosts in my head Wishing I was numb, wishing I was dead [distorted guitar swell] Just let the rain fall Wash it all away Yeah, wash it all away Always felt this way Goodbye [feedback fades]
