Wandering Shadows

[Verse] Streets are cracked like a broken mirror Dreams shattered Nothing clearer Empty bottles Empty hands Life slips through like grains of sand [Chorus] Wandering shadows Lost and cold No roots to anchor No stories told A lost generation Hearts of stone Searching for a place we’ll never own [Verse 2] Rain falls hard But it won’t cleanse Rust on the rail No light at the bends A child cries But the night’s too loud Hope drowns deep in the faceless crowd [Prechorus] Smoke in the air Ash on the ground No way forward No love found [Chorus] Wandering shadows Lost and cold No roots to anchor No stories told A lost generation Hearts of stone Searching for a place we’ll never own [Bridge] Steel and sorrow Bricks and bones The city hums in aching tones Feet keep moving Heart stands still Climbing uphill with no will
