Antique Worm

[Verse]
Mama always told me lies while I looked up at starless skies
Hamburgers wrapped in newspaper and old Arnie's crooked caper
Empty bottles by the step chasing ghosts we can't forget
Grandpa's shadow in the yard memories rusted worn and scarred
[Verse 2]
Whispers from a vagabond sticky notes and old coupons
Rolling dice just for a thrill time's a trap now we're still
Stolen glance in a tattered book just one more dirty look
Cracked paint on ancient walls history calls no one stalls
[Chorus]
Fight the dark fight the shame no one's left to take the blame
Blistered hands hold your fate rage can never satiate
Fractured dreams and desperate cries cold winds blowing lullabies
We bleed out under moon's throw it's a life only we know
[Verse 3]
Faces in the flickering light lost shadows half out of sight
Broken clocks tell twisted tales in our hearts a wandering gale
Forgotten streets where silence speaks corners turned ghosts peek
Dust settling on old dreams nothing ever as it seems
[Bridge]
Screaming into void’s thin air no one promised life was fair
Answers hide below the dirt digging deep through endless hurt
Chains that hold we try to break in end we're just a mistake
Forged in fires made of spite just holding on with all our might
[Verse 4]
Dog-eared pages yellowed gray each step leads us further away
Voices lost in old refrains echoes mix with cold disdain
Yet we carry on ignored tired legs grown weary bored
Songs of past whisper back dust and memories in their track
