Shadows of the Strings

[Verse]
Dusty roads, heart heavy, steps dragging—
Violin crying, notes sagging, life flagging.
A melody sharp, cuts deep, no bandage,
Soul stitched with strings, unraveling damage.

Empty bottles clink, echoes in the alley,
Thoughts race like horses, Kentucky Derby rally.
Night whispers secrets, wind carries the chatter,
Truth in the cracks, where the stars seem to shatter.

[Chorus]
Violin moans, tears in the sound,
Heartbeats sync with the rhythm I found.
Melody rises, won't let me drown—
Strings play shadows, pulling me down.

[Verse 2]
Sky bleeding amber, horizon stitched in gold,
Time’s a pickpocket, memories sold.
Eyelids droop heavy, like clouds on a leash,
Dreams escape prison, but freedom ain't peace.

Cracks in the pavement, maps of my despair,
Lost in the labyrinth, grief fills the air.
Notes from the violin, haunt like a ghost,
Every chord's a sermon, preaching to the most.

[Bridge]
Beneath the moonlight, shadows do their dance,
Violins croon tales of a second chance.
A broken clock ticks, its rhythm offbeat,
Still, it finds the hour when our eyes meet.
