[Verse]
The pavement’s cracked like my face in the mirror
Lines run deep—don’t know who I was
Dust in my lungs choking out my tomorrow
Hands are empty nothing to hold
[Chorus]
Broken strings can’t sing no more
Knuckles bleeding pounding on a locked door
What’s the point of it all—tell me why
I’m screaming at a god who won’t reply
[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch long in this one-light town
Ghosts of my youth follow me around
The clock ticks slow but it’s still too fast
Every second’s a punch dragging up my past
[Prechorus]
Can you hear it breaking
This life I’m faking
[Chorus]
Broken strings can’t sing no more
Knuckles bleeding pounding on a locked door
What’s the point of it all—tell me why
I’m screaming at a god who won’t reply
[Bridge]
A fire in my chest burns black not red
Ashes in my throat from words unsaid
Every scar’s a map but it leads to nowhere
I run in circles—no one cares
The pavement’s cracked like my face in the mirror
Lines run deep—don’t know who I was
Dust in my lungs choking out my tomorrow
Hands are empty nothing to hold
[Chorus]
Broken strings can’t sing no more
Knuckles bleeding pounding on a locked door
What’s the point of it all—tell me why
I’m screaming at a god who won’t reply
[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch long in this one-light town
Ghosts of my youth follow me around
The clock ticks slow but it’s still too fast
Every second’s a punch dragging up my past
[Prechorus]
Can you hear it breaking
This life I’m faking
[Chorus]
Broken strings can’t sing no more
Knuckles bleeding pounding on a locked door
What’s the point of it all—tell me why
I’m screaming at a god who won’t reply
[Bridge]
A fire in my chest burns black not red
Ashes in my throat from words unsaid
Every scar’s a map but it leads to nowhere
I run in circles—no one cares
