[Verse]
The man down the road
Shadow in the dust
Was he flesh or was he rust
His eyes burned holes through the night
Fingers twitching like a dying fight
[Prechorus]
I asked the wind
It only sighed
I asked the earth
It just lied
[Chorus]
The man down the road
Was he ever there
A ghost in the black
Or just empty air
The man down the road
Was he real
Was he fake
Or just the last mistake I’ll ever make
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo
They follow my spine
A howl in the dark
Or just my mind
His laugh
It cuts like a broken chain
A mirage that crawls inside my veins
[Prechorus]
I scream his name
It disappears
I choke on shadows
Swallow my fears
[Chorus]
The man down the road
Was he ever there
A ghost in the black
Or just empty air
The man down the road
Was he real
Was he fake
Or just the last mistake I’ll ever make
