(Verse 1) Out on these dusty roads, where the shadows linger long, I’m tangled in my thoughts, and they’s singin’ a sad song, Storm clouds hover over, and the rain begins to fall, I’m wearin’ all this pain, like a heavy old coat, I’ve tried to find the sunlight, but it always feels remote.

(Spoken Word) “You ever feel so lost, like a ghost without a home?”

(Verse 2) Mirrors just reflect the cracks, yeah, they show what’s really real, I’m fightin’ with my tethered mind, tryin’ to find my way to heal, Each dawn seems to bring the same whisper in my ear, “What’s a soul to do when the end feels oh so near?”

(Key Change) [Build-up] (Chorus) Rusty roads and hollow hearts, where do we go from here? The weight of sorrow heavy, drownin’ out the cheer, When hope's a distant memory, and smiles fade to gray, I’m searchin’ for the answers, but they all slip away.

(Verse 3) I sit under the weeping willow, where the warm breeze used to play, But now it feels like sorrow, just takes a piece of day, The stars that used to spark joy just flicker in disdain, I keep reachin’ for the moon, but I’m held back by this chain.

(Fade-Out) (Hook) Oh, these rusty roads, they lead to nowhere bright, Just shadows of my dreams tucked away deep in the night.

(Spoken Word) “Sometimes it feels like hope’s just a ghost we chase.”

(Verse 4) But I’ll take one more step, ‘cause I’m not quite givin’ in, A heart that's been so heavy still has the chance to spin, So I’ll forge through the darkness, with the fire in my soul, And maybe find a reason, hidden deep in the hole.

(Trap Break) [Riff] (Chorus) Rusty roads and hollow hearts, where do we go from here? The weight of sorrow heavy, drownin’ out the cheer, When hope's a distant memory and smiles fade to gray, I’m searchin’ for the answers, but they all slip away.

(Solo) (Outro) So if you find yourself like me, lost upon this way, Know there’s always light waiting to break through the gray.
