[Intro][Dark, Grimy Guitar Riff]
[Verse 1][[Low, raspy, detached vocals]
Sunrise cracks, a dirty line
Another day, I'm feeling fine
Or maybe not, who can tell?
Stuck in this asphalt-covered hell
Got a hunger, deep inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Just the hum of the neon glow
Putting on a one-man show

[Pre-Chorus][Building Tension, vocals become more strained]
The city breathes, a restless sigh
As painted faces hurry by
They're chasing something, I don't know
A fleeting dream, a puppet show

[Chorus][Aggressive, desperate, yelled vocals, Driving Beat]
Another fix, another lie
Watch the wasted hours fly
Nothing matters, nothing's real
Just the emptiness I feel
Yeah, the emptiness I feel

[Verse 2][More Melancholy]
Empty pockets, empty room
Waiting for the coming doom
Shadows dance upon the wall
Answering no one's call
The taste of dust, a bitter friend
A broken promise, at the end
Of a long, dark, winding road
Carrying this heavy load

[Pre-Chorus][Building Tension]
The city sleeps, a vacant stare
Lost in clouds of poisoned air
They're running somewhere, I suppose
Where the poisoned river flows

[Chorus][Aggressive, Driving Beat]
Another fix, another lie
Watch the wasted hours fly
Nothing matters, nothing's real
Just the emptiness I feel
Yeah, the emptiness I feel

[Bridge][Spoken Word, Cynical and Weary Tone]
They say there's a way out, a guiding light
But all I see is endless night
A broken mirror, shattered glass
Reflecting dreams that will not last
So I'll just drift, on this cold tide
With nothing left to feel inside

[Guitar Solo][Fuzzed-out, chaotic, atonal, feedback-drenched solo in the style of James Williamson]

[Chorus][More Intense, Desperate]
Another fix, another lie
Watch the wasted hours fly
Nothing matters, nothing's real
Just the emptiness I feel
Yeah, the emptiness I feel!

[Outro][Fading Out with Repetitive Guitar Riff]
Emptiness... emptiness...
[Fade]
