Another Long Night

On a cold night east of the end of the world

Another mile, another bar, another word

The hum of the sleepers echoes my pain

While the moon cuts through the sky again

I think of her, or whoever passed me by

But it all disappears like smoke in the sky

I fake the strength, like steel and bone

But inside I am a road with no way home

Here I am, staring again

The stage of life, trying to remain

Here I go, pretending to shine

Another long night... just buying time

I walk in a bar that smells like memory

The eyes all turn, full of mystery

They whisper doubts: Is it man or ghost?

But they don t know the pain I host

Surrounded, but I am still alone

No one sees the wolf behind the tone

I raise no voice, I show no fight

I bleed my soul through chords at night

Here I am, trying once more

A fading star behind a closing door

Here I go, turning the night

Another day... no place in sight

In the spotlight, I am miles away

Each chord I strike, another price to pay

The sweat pours down like molten verse

And my soul burns in a roaming curse

In the silence of a motel room

The echo of my guitar fills the gloom

I light a smoke, stare into the glass

And see a man haunted by his past

Here I am, just me and the sound

On an empty stage with no one around

Here I go, one more fight to start

Turn the page... before I fall apart
