[Verse 1]
Teeth grindin', shadow on the wall ain't mine
Sunrise comes, but the clock won't shine
Pockets full of nothin', just dust and regret
Skin crawlin' stories that I ain't told yet
Stuck in the trailer, dreams turned to vapor
Pipe hits the lips, call it my paper chaser
Mirror cracked, can't face the stranger inside
This high's a low, can't run, can't hide
[Chorus]
Crystal roads, they don't lead home
Just a ghost in the dark, wanderin' alone
Heart beats fast, then it slows to stone
Crystal roads, they don't lead home
[Verse 2]
Sold the TV, sold my pride and my name
Chasin' that dragon, it's a loser's game
Mama's voice echoes, “Boy, where'd you go wrong?”
But the devil's in the smoke, singin' his song
Eyes wide, sleep's just a word I forgot
Soul's pawned off, traded for a single shot
Family's prayers can't break this chain
Crystal roads paved with blood and pain
[Bridge]
Harmonica cries, like a widow in the wind
Every hit I take feels like a mortal sin
Shadows get closer, hear 'em call my name
Crystal roads ain't paved, they're a burnin' flame
