[Verse]
Sunrise creeps through broken blinds,
Another day begins, but I’m still blind.
Whiskey bottles on the nightstand,
Haunted by a past I can't withstand.

[Verse 2]
Mama's prayers can't break these chains,
Dad's old records sing my pains.
Small town whispers, they condemn,
But they don’t see the hurt within.

[Chorus]
I’m lost in the shadows in the rye,
Chasing ghosts I can’t deny.
Promises and broken dreams,
Echoes of my silent screams.

[Verse 3]
Midnight drives down gravel roads,
The weight of guilt, it always shows.
Empty fields and empty soul,
Drowning in a lonely hole.

[Verse 4]
Pictures of the life I led,
Friends and family think I'm dead.
Holding on to a fraying thread,
Trying hard to lift my head.

[Bridge]
The preacher says to trust in faith,
But he doesn’t see my empty state.
In this fight, I'm all alone,
Addiction’s left me skin and bone.
