[Verse]
A cry echoes in the midnight haze
Little hands
A life ablaze
But the weight is crushing
Can't you see
A heart not whole
Just barely free
[Verse 2]
They set the bar up in the sky
I reach I bend I break I try
Every stare like a thousand knives
Cutting through my tattered life
[Chorus]
Falling down the open road
Hands are full but the load won’t go
A shattered cradle
A broken dream
I’m clawing back but I barely breathe
[Verse 3]
Milk-stained shirts in a corner pile
Dreams left out in the rain a while
They call it love but it feels like chains
A prison painted in pastel paint
[Bridge]
Every step feels like thin cracked glass
Looking forward but haunted by the past
Family’s arms closed like a heavy door
I’m scratching for light but I ache for more
[Chorus]
Falling down the open road
Hands are full but the load won’t go
A shattered cradle
A broken dream
I’m clawing back but I barely breathe
