Morning After the Storm
The Airborne Toxic Event

[Verse 1]
Did I break the dawn, or just black out?
Empty bottles like soldiers strewn about.
Echoes of laughter now whispers of dread,
Dancing with shadows, I’d rather be dead.

[Verse 2]
Thought I was flying, but now I just fall,
Chasing illusions down the hollowed hall.
Mirrors reflect back a face that I know,
But where's the light that used to glow?

[Chorus]
I’m a wreck on the road, a ghost in the night,
Searching for solace, but finding a fight.
Life's a cruel joke that I'm dying to hear,
Like a verse from a song that I somehow fear.

[Verse 3]
Cracks in the pavement, like lines on my mind,
Every step I take feels like I'm in rewind.
Friends turned to foes with a nod and a sneer,
Lost in the haze, but I still persevere.

[Verse 4]
Pour me another, drown out the sting,
The night was a chorus, but morning won’t sing.
Found in the damage, a reason to stay,
But this bitter sweet song leads me astray.

[Chorus]
I’m a wreck on the road, a ghost in the night,
Searching for solace, but finding a fight.
Life's a cruel joke that I'm dying to hear,
Like a verse from a song that I somehow fear.

[Outro]
So here’s to the morning, the mess we've constructed,
A tapestry woven with choices unproductive.
Yet through the rubble, I'll craft something clear,
A melody born from the verge of despair.
