Admitting Defeat

Verse 1)

Empty rooms echo with silence, a hollow sound

Where laughter once danced, now only shadows are found

He built his castle, a fortress so high

Never saw the foundations crumble, watched his dreams die

(Chorus)

In the neon glow of a forgotten age

He played his guitar, turned a brand new page

But the world kept spinning, a relentless beat

Leaving him stranded, admitting defeat

(Verse 2)

The scent of his woman, a whisper on the breeze

Her gentle touch, now lost in the trees

His children's faces, blurred by the haze

Lost in the labyrinth of his darkest days

(Chorus)

In the neon glow of a forgotten age

He played his guitar, turned a brand new page

But the world kept spinning, a relentless beat

Leaving him stranded, admitting defeat

(Bridge)

He wakes in the morning, sun a blinding light

The bed beside him, empty in the night

A phantom embrace, a memory so sweet

Of a love that once bloomed, now obsolete

(Guitar Solo)

(Wailing, emotional solo, full of regret and longing)

(Chorus)

In the neon glow of a forgotten age

He played his guitar, turned a brand new page

But the world kept spinning, a relentless beat

Leaving him stranded, admitting defeat

(Outro)

Fading in the night, a love he can't reclaim

A lonely warrior, whispering her name

Too late to fight, too late to mend

A ballad of sorrow, a love without end.
