Shattered Illusions

In the city lights I'm lost tonight

Can't find a way out no matter how I try

Faces in shadows masks of my fear

Whispering secrets I don’t want to hear

Loneliness creeps like a thief in the dark

Rips me apart leaves a permanent mark

Voices inside me tangled in lies

Begging for solace in strangers' eyes

Hype and illusion they pull me near

Promises broken they disappear

Suicidal whispers in my ear

Dreams shattered falling like broken tears

Drugged by visions haunting my mind

Living in places where I’m hard to find

Pain in my veins just won't subside

Broken tracks on an endless ride

Every night the silence screams so loud

Lost in the frenzy of a thoughtless crowd

Chasing highs to bury what's below

Digging graves in the afterglow

Hype and illusion they pull me near

Promises broken they disappear

Suicidal whispers in my ear

Dreams shattered falling like broken tears
