The Empty Station

The clock ticks loud but no one hears The echoes bounce off walls of years A suitcase packed with hopes and fears The train is late the path unclear And every step I didn't take The words I lost the hearts I break The platform holds my silent ache A ghost of dreams I can't remake At the empty station I'm standing still Time moves on but I feel the chill The tracks they lead to somewhere new But I'm stuck between the old and true At the empty station the night feels long A broken verse to an unsung song The whispers of the past remain Like fading smoke from distant trains A ticket home feels hard to claim When forward lies an unknown frame And every turn I didn't choose The lines I crossed the love I lose The platform hums with déjà vu But nothing moves no sign no clue At the empty station I'm standing still Time moves on but I feel the chill The tracks they lead to somewhere new But I'm stuck between the old and true At the empty station the night feels long A broken verse to an unsung song The whistle blows a distant sound A chance for change it circles round Do I step on or let it fade The price of choice is what I've made At the empty station I'm standing still Time moves on but I feel the chill The tracks they lead to somewhere new But I'm stuck between the old and true At the empty station the night feels long A broken verse to an unsung song The train rolls in the doors swing wide A leap of faith to leave behind At the empty station I say goodbye To broken dreams and shattered skies
