Dark clouds above me eyes so gray The world seems silent shadows play I walk alone the city sighs Lost in echoes empty skies Broken dreams on shattered ground Memories whisper without a sound Faces fade like morning mist Cold winds blow with a sorrowed twist Tears in the rain they fall like stones Drowned by the night left all alone Heartbeats echo like distant drums Lost in the past where no one comes Lashed by time with scars so deep Awake from nightmares I never sleep Voices haunt like old sad songs In this puzzle where I don't belong Streetlights fading one by one Chasing shadows until they're gone Hope is but a fleeting star Flickering faint from afar Tears in the rain they fall like stones Drowned by the night left all alone Heartbeats echo like distant drums Lost in the past where no one comes
