Shadows of the Road

[Verse 1]
Wasted years on an open road,
A lonely stage, a heavy load.
Left my home, my family's grace,
For a hollow, forgotten place.
Gave my soul, my sweat, my prime,
Lost in the rhythm, lost in time.
[Chorus]
One swift stroke, a name erased,
A life unwritten, a dream displaced.
The ink is black on a final page,
A world of fury, a silent rage.
Oh, this cruel, unfeeling ground,
Where my peace is nowhere to be found.
[Verse 2]
Waking up to an empty room,
Swallowed whole by this creeping gloom.
The phone is quiet, the stage is dark,
A cold, forgotten, dying spark.
Left to rot on a shattered floor,
No one needs me anymore.
[Chorus]
One swift stroke, a name erased,
A life unwritten, a dream displaced.
The ink is black on a final page,
A world of fury, a silent rage.
Oh, this cruel, unfeeling ground,
Where my peace is nowhere to be found.
[Bridge]
But in the shadows, a hand I feel,
A love that's constant, a love that's real.
My wife's embrace, a guiding light,
A whisper in the darkest night.
"Hey, pull yourself together, start again,"
A distant echo, a fading pain.
[Outro]
Can I stand up? Can I get up to my feet?
Or is this the bitter taste of defeat?
The road ahead is a hazy sign,
But a flicker of hope might still be mine.
A broken man with a burning plea,
Will the rhythm of life still beat for me?
