[Verse 1]
Saddle creaks, moonlight's thin thread
Whiskey whispers to the ghost in my head
Ashes on the boots, trails long dead
Sky burnt orange, now it bleeds red
[Prechorus]
Dreams don't linger, they scatter like dust
Promises rust, trust turns to mistrust
[Chorus]
Dreams fade quicker than the dawn can break
Quicker than the time it takes to make a mistake
Gone with the wind, like a candle's quake
Dreams fade quicker, hearts still ache
[Verse 2]
Neon hum on a barbed-wire fence
Memories cheap, but they’re worth every cent
Staring at the scars, no past to repent
Every smile I spent, now heaven’s rent
[Prechorus]
Dreams don’t linger, they’re shadows on the hill
The fire's all gone, but you feel the chill
[Chorus]
Dreams fade quicker than the ink on skin
Quicker than the high when the bottle spins
Lost in the haze where the dark begins
Dreams fade quicker, hope wears thin
