The Lonely Bard

Verse 1

Streetlight shimmer from my window pane

Counting the cracks in my weathered name

Silence echoing where laughter once grew

Old chords unravel, every note feels new

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the wall spins in reverse

Every minute just another verse

Hoping for someone to hear my sound

While my hope keeps breaking down

Chorus

Lost in the ache of a song I can't play

I'm the lonely bard on an endless stage

All my words, they just float away

Just shadows spinning with yesterday

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh

I'm just singing to the gray

Oh, oh, oh

Nothing ever seems to stay

Verse 2

Empty halls and the fading notes

Tied to the memories I never wrote

Looking for faces that won't appear

Turning pages no one will hear

Pre-Chorus

I reach for meaning in the silence

It slips away like sand

Painting hearts with empty guidance

Trying to understand

Chorus

Lost in the ache of a song I can't play

I'm the lonely bard on an endless stage

All my words, they just float away

Just shadows spinning with yesterday

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh

I'm just singing to the gray

Oh, oh, oh

Nothing ever seems to stay

Bridge

Beneath the flicker of faded dreams

I trace my scars through distant themes

These strings remember every night

Weighing wishes I hold too tight

Chorus

Lost in the ache of a song I can't play

I'm the lonely bard on an endless stage

All my words, they just float away

Just shadows spinning with yesterday

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh

I'm just singing to the gray

Oh, oh, oh

Will the longing ever fade?
