broken strings

(hahaha) I remember birthday candles Paper crowns and smiling eyes

Every wish that filled the room

Felt like stars across the sky Tiny hands reached up to greet

me Calling out my name with pride

I believed that every promise Meant we’d never say goodbye

Then one evening After closing Something didn’t feel the same The laughter

slowly disappeared Yet someone softly called my name (Voltage) Such a quiet

whisper Like they needed someone near So I walked into the darkness

Never thinking there was fear

Little footsteps Echoed softly Then they suddenly were gone

I kept searching Calling gently

Hey superstar Hold on

I heard you cry I turned around But I was far too

late The lights went dim The music stopped I watched love turn

to fate If I could play One final song I’d bring you

safely home But all that’s left Is broken strings Inside these halls

alone

I remember reaching for you

Your guitar was shining blue

I thought we’d sing another chorus Like we always used to do

Then the world became so silent Cold as winter Dark as night

I kept calling (Voltage) But I couldn’t find the light (Lucas) (ahhhh)

(I couldn’t find you)

(I’m sorry)

I still stand Upon this stage Waiting through the years

Every chord A memory

Every note A tear

If somewhere You can hear me Know I never let you go

The crowd is gone The lights are cold But I’ll still play

the show

(This encore is for you,

Lucas)
