Verse 1) In the quiet of the night, I hear the voices call,
A symphony of broken dreams in the shelter's cold hall.
The weight of the world on shoulders too tired to stand,
Fentanyl dreams, slipping through their hands.
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain.
(Verse 2)
I see the faces, worn and worn,
Their futures stolen, their hope is torn.
I hand them blankets, I give them a meal,
But how do I heal wounds that no bandage can seal?
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain.
(Bridge)
The night is long, but we stay by their side,
Trying to help them, trying to guide.
But how do you save a soul already lost?
When the price of survival comes at such a cost.
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain.
(Outro)
I wish I could fix it, I wish I could heal,
But I’m just a witness, to what’s all too real.
Fentanyl dreams, slipping through the night,
And I’ll keep holding on, trying to make it right.
(Verse 3)
They come through the doors, some scared, some numb,
Seeking refuge, but for some, it’s just where they’re from.
A life on the edge, they’re barely holding on,
Fentanyl whispers, it’s where they belong.
(Pre-Chorus)
I hear their stories, their battles, their cries,
But it’s hard to lift them when the world’s full of lies.
The streets, the needles, they’re tangled in fear,
I wish I could promise that hope’s still near.
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain.
(Verse 4)
They used to have plans, they used to have dreams,
But the pain took over, now it’s all in their seams.
The stories they tell, fragments of light,
But they’re lost in the shadows of a never-ending fight.
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I could pull them from the edge of despair,
But I’m just one voice in a world unaware.
I give them my time, I give them my ear,
But I can’t stop the tide of their deepest fear.
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain.
(Bridge 2)
Each one a story, each one a life,
But in this moment, they’re lost in the strife.
We try to provide, we try to restore,
But there’s never enough, they always need more.
(Chorus)
Fentanyl’s grip, tight like a chain,
Stealing their breath, drowning their pain.
In the shelter, we try, but it’s hard to explain,
How some dreams are broken and some never remain. .......Alive
