The Path He Wandered

Lyrics

[Verse]
He was just a boy
Bright as morning sun
Took to wanderin' where the nights begun
Found the city shadows and the neon glow
Lost his way
Life took a solemn blow

[Verse]
Saw the smoke curl up from a stranger's hand
He reached for the darkness
Couldn't understand
Thought he found a friend in the devil's hold
Traded innocence for a fistful of cold

[Chorus]
Oh
The path he wandered
Paved with sorrow's dust
Dreams turned to ashes
Heart began to rust
When he looked for freedom
Chains were tightly bound
In the alleyways
Lost but never found

[Verse]
Once had dreams of fields
Sky so wide and grand
But the city's whisper turned into its demand
Now he roams the corners where the shadows sing
Lost in the echoes of an endless spring

[Verse]
His eyes
Once bright
Now haunted
Deep and dark
Chasing ghosts of moments in the old town park
He remembers laughter like a distant shore
Now his days are nights
Forever asking more

[Bridge]
There’s a world outside where the rivers run
But the boy now hides from the waking sun
Bound by shackles made of his own desire
In the midnight’s grasp
In the devil’s fire
