Rusty Cracker

Lyrics:

© warbird1228
I’m standing on the edge of this cracked pavement
Worn-out sneakers echo of my days spent
From here on, they said, just keep your head high
But every straight road bends

Rusty cracker dreams, breaking under the weight
Every piece contains a map, but I'm still lost in fate
Everything I wanted, slipped through like sand

I breathe it all in, but it’s hard to understand
I watch the sunset bleed into the night
Once vibrant now dull
If every man is a waste, don’t waste your time on me

Rusty cracker dreams, breaking under the weight
Every piece contains a map, but I'm still lost in fate
Everything I wanted, slipped through like sand
I breathe it all in, but it’s hard to understand

These empty bottles echo the stories I won’t tell
Holding on to the laughter like a prison cell
I try to stitch this fear like fabric tearing apart
There is nothing more to say, just silence in this haze
So here’s to all the broken roads that brought me here
To every anxious breath, to every hidden tear
I’ll wear my scars like medals, show them to the night
Because even rusty crackers can manage to ignite
Together in this chaos, we're still standing tall
