(Verse 1)
In the quiet of our town, where the night falls deep,
We used to laugh and dream, now we're lost in sleep,
There's a shadow that's fallen, over hearts once so pure,
A silent killer, leaving emptiness for sure.
(Chorus)
Oh, the pills they offer, a fleeting relief,
But they steal our joy, like a thief in the night,
We're mourning the lost, the friends we once knew,
In this town of sorrow, we're singing the blues.
(Verse 2)
I see the homes, once filled with light, now they're dim,
The laughter's gone, replaced by a silent hymn,
My friends, they're slipping, through my desperate hands,
In the grip of addiction, where no one understands.
(Chorus)
Oh, the pills they offer, a fleeting relief,
But they steal our joy, like a thief in the night,
We're mourning the lost, the friends we once knew,
In this town of sorrow, we're singing the blues.
(Bridge)
There's a whisper in the wind, of battles we've fought,
But we stand by the graves, where our tears are wrought,
For every soul, every life that's been taken,
We'll keep their memory alive, though our hearts are shaken.
(Solo)
[Haunting guitar solo]
(Verse 3)
I've watched the years pass, with hope fading slow,
Searching for a dawn, where we might let go,
But until that day comes, we'll hold onto our fight,
For the love that remains, in the dimming light.
(Chorus)
Oh, the pills they offer, a fleeting relief,
But they steal our joy, like a thief in the night,
We're mourning the lost, the friends we once knew,
In this town of sorrow, we're singing the blues.
(Outro)
So here's to the memories, of the ones we've lost,
In this somber silence, we're counting the cost,
We'll keep singing this song, for the pain that we've seen,
Hoping one day, we'll find peace, in this town of the clean.
