Lonely Nights

**Verse 1:** Woke up in the silence, echoes in my mind, Lost in the distance, memories left behind. Days blend together, shadows on the wall, Without you, my brothers, I stumble and I fall. **Chorus:** Empty streets and empty dreams, I'm drifting in a sea of screams. Without my homies, I'm just a ghost, In this desolate, endless coast. **Verse 2:** We were invincible, a force to be reckoned, Now I'm just a vessel, with my heart all broken. Guitars and laughter, the nights we made our own, Now the silence shatters, as I walk alone. **Chorus:** Empty streets and empty dreams, I'm drifting in a sea of screams. Without my homies, I'm just a ghost, In this desolate, endless coast. **Bridge: (Ambient instrumental)** (Let the music swell with haunting, atmospheric sounds, leading into a powerful, progressive metal breakdown) **Breakdown:** In the darkest nights, I hear your voice, A whisper in the wind, giving me a choice. To rise from the ashes, to find my way, I'll carry you with me, come what may. **Chorus:** Empty streets and empty dreams, I'm drifting in a sea of screams. Without my homies, I'm just a ghost, In this desolate, endless coast. **Outro:** The sun will rise, and I'll find my peace, With your memories, my soul's release. Until we meet again, in the great unknown, I'll carry on, though I'm alone.
