Echoes in the Alley

[Verse] Night creeps in shadows flicker gray walls City hums cold winds answers no calls Dusty guitars whispering broken dreams [Verse 2] Hearts left in alleys cracked pavement cries Restless feet walking to nowhere no ties Old records spinning while the world just screams [Chorus] Why does the pain never leave our side Lost in the noise where the echoes hide Our silent pleas fade beneath the tide [Verse 3] Streetlights flicker casting ghosts on the road Words unspoken heavy with the load Whiskey-stained memories fading away [Verse 4] Blue smoke and sorrow choking the night Faces in the crowd just out of sight Searching for solace at the break of day [Chorus] Why does the pain never leave our side Lost in the noise where the echoes hide Our silent pleas fade beneath the tide
