Nothing but Time

Sit back in the Cadillac

Watching life as it’s flying by

Streetlights blur like memories

That never learned to stay alive

Windows cracked, cold midnight air

Living in a life that isn’t mine

Every passing face looks happy

While I disappear behind my eyes

I keep driving through the silence

Like I’m running from myself

No destination worth believing

No heaven left to help

I’m nothing but a ghost

A shadow in this empty world

Fading through the cracks of time

Watching every dream unfurl

Nobody hears the quiet cry’s

Nobody sees the hurt in my eyes

I walk through rooms like smoke and sorrow

Too alive to die, too numb just passing by

Leather seats and old regrets

Carry scars I never show

There’s a war inside my head

That nobody will ever understand

Radio plays a sad old song

Like it understands my pain

And every mile just feels the same

Another road, another rain

I keep searching in reflections

For someone I used to be

But the mirror only shows me

What the dark has made of me

I’m nothing but a ghost

A shadow in this empty world

Fading through the cracks of time

Watching every dream unfurl

Nobody hears the quiet cry’s

Nobody sees the hurt in my eyes

I walk through rooms like smoke and sorrow

Too alive to die, too numb just passing by

Maybe I was meant to vanish

Like headlights down an endless road

Maybe some hearts break so slowly

They forget how to feel whole

And I still keep driving nowhere

Just to say I tried to stay

But every sunrise feels like punishment

For making it another day

Sit back in the Cadillac

Watch life as its flying by

I’m nothing but a ghost

Still pretending I’m alive
