Shattered Boots

Dust on the floorboards thick and grey

Boots worn down walked too many days

Creaking hinges scream in the night

Shattered boots shattered soul

Can't find my way can't feel whole

Shattered boots they walk but drag

Through the mud through the flag

Whiskey stains on a broken chair

Empty bottles like they don’t care

Shadows dance where the fire once burned

Tired eyes meet a cracked old mirror

What’s the truth what gets clearer

Shattered boots shattered soul

Can't find my way can't feel whole

Shattered boots they walk but drag

Through the mud through the flag

Steel strings wail like a lover’s cry

Wind howls questions to the empty sky

Answers lost in the roar of the train
