The Last Lonely Man2

Verse

He walks through streets that have no names,

Where neon lights forget to glow.

Every window holds a shadow,

Every echo feels like snow.

His hands are empty, palms of glass,

Reaching out but no one stays.

He’s a letter never opened,

Floating on a sea of gray.

Pre-chorus

And the sky leans down to whisper,

But it’s only wind and rain.

He keeps speaking to the silence,

Like a prayer with no refrain.

Chorus

He’s the last lonely man in the city of mirrors,

No reflection ever looks back at him.

In a world so loud, he grows quieter still,

Carrying dreams no one else will see.

Oh, the last lonely man, drifting slow, drifting thin,

Waiting for someone to walk through his skin.

Verse

He hides his heart in old notebooks,

Lines of ink like silent trees.

Every page a distant country,

Every thought a folded plea.

He remembers voices, now like ghosts,

Perfumes lost in empty halls.

Even his shadow seems to tremble,

When the evening curtain falls.

Pre-chorus

And the sky leans down to whisper,

But it’s only wind and rain.

He keeps speaking to the silence,

Like a prayer with no refrain.

Chorus

He’s the last lonely man in the city of mirrors,

No reflection ever looks back at him.

In a world so loud, he grows quieter still,

Carrying dreams no one else will see.

Oh, the last lonely man, drifting slow, drifting thin,

Waiting for someone to walk through his skin.

Bridge

Yet he keeps a single candle,

Hidden where the shadows bend.

Hoping love could find its pathway,

Hoping sorrow learns to end.

Chorus

He’s the last lonely man, but a light flickers nearer,

A whisper of warmth against the cold within.

Maybe one day the glass will break open,

And someone will hold what he’s tried to begin.

Outro

In the hush of the night, under silver skies,

He closes his eyes, and the loneliness sighs.
