[Verse]
Cold wind whispers through an empty hallway
Echoes of the past, ghosts in the crawlspace
Clock hands drag, time slower than a drawl
Walls closing in, shadows start to brawl
Soul heavy, dragging chains through the dirt
Heart bruised, tattooed by the hurt
Every sip of the bottle, a false friend
Spinning circles, same start, no end
[Prechorus]
Dust on the Bible, no prayers left to give
Searching for a reason, some way to live
[Chorus]
(Deep Southern Baptist-style vocal)
Lord, I’m calling, I’m falling so low
These tears won’t stop, no place left to go
Blue solitude, I’m lost in the hue
Lord, guide me through, I’m reaching for You
[Verse 2]
Neon lights flicker, dance on cracked pavement
Dreams sold cheap, caught up in enslavement
Empty pews whisper sermons of the lost
Faith feels fragile, broken by the cost
Rain taps on tin roofs, a somber drumline
Heartbeat syncs, pain keeping the time
Buried in the silence, the weight grows thick
Hope a flicker, but the candle won’t stick
