Broken Dreams

Lost in a world of shadows and light

Holding on, fighting through the night

Six years old, innocence slipped away

In the blink of an eye, it faded to gray

Nightmares lurking behind my eyes

Dreams and drawings, a silent disguise

Met a boy named John, with promises tall

From a broken home, he knew how to fall

Poison in his veins, a stolen escape

Drawn into his chaos, a darkened shape

We were high on hopes and faded dreams

Living in shadows, bursting at the seams

Craving a way out, a different life

Caught in the darkness, struggling to survive

Became addicted to his hollow smile

Lost ourselves for a little while

Feeding on demons that nobody sees

Chasing illusions, trying to be free

From a town that suffocates and binds

Seeking salvation, trying to unwind

But the night keeps whispering our name

In a world painted with shadows of pain

We were high on hopes and faded dreams

Living in shadows, bursting at the seams

Craving a way out, a different life

Caught in the darkness, struggling to survive

Can we find a dawn behind these clouds?

Break free from these silent shrouds?

Or are we doomed to drift and fade?

Lost in memories we can't evade

Maybe someday we'll see the sun

Until then, we'll carry on

Holding onto the dreams we've spun

Until our shadows are gone
