[Verse 1] I walk this road with empty eyes Beneath a fading city sky The faces pass, but none are real They smile like they forgot to feel [Pre-Chorus] I've talked to ghosts and fading dreams They vanish when I start to scream [Chorus] I'm still walking, mile by mile With no direction, just denial If there's a place where I belong I haven’t found it — not for long [Verse 2] The nights are loud, but I'm alone I sleep beneath a ringing phone I light a smoke to kill the cold But ash is all I ever hold [Pre-Chorus] The signs all point to dead-end streets I trace my thoughts beneath my feet [Chorus] I'm still walking, mile by mile With no direction, just denial If there's a place where I belong I haven’t found it — not for long 🎸 [Guitar Solo] (Melodic and slightly bluesy, with a lonely tone – à la Billie Joe Armstrong style) — solo happens here, after second chorus — [Bridge] I used to dream in color once Now every shade just feels like rust But maybe hope is just a lie We tell ourselves so we don’t cry [Final Chorus – Stronger, More Resigned] Still walking, mile by mile Through every shadow, every trial And if I’m lost, at least I know There’s still a million miles to go [Outro – Soft guitar arpeggio] There’s still a million miles to go... And I’ll keep walking, even slow.
