Title:
“Desolate Dreams”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Em] Wandering down a path uncharted,
[G] In the depths of our desolate dreams.
[Am] We’re both lost and wholehearted,
[C] Breaking apart at the seams.

[Em] The world is a stage we borrow,
[G] Playing parts we’re meant to portray.
[Am] Laughter today, pain tomorrow,
[C] It’s the price we’re destined to pay.

(Chorus)
[D] Desolate dreams and hollow hopes,
[C] Our hearts beat like thunder.
[Em] In this cruel cosmic joke,
[G] We’re torn asunder.

(Verse 2)
[Em] We’re just vagabonds on a journey,
[G] Trapped in the confines of time.
[Am] Our hearts are the jury,
[C] In a world that’s void of rhyme.

[Em] In the grand scheme of creation,
[G] We’re but specks in the cosmic design.
[Am] Living through the frustration,
[C] Of a life that’s yours and mine.

(Chorus)
[D] Desolate dreams and hollow hopes,
[C] Our hearts beat like thunder.
[Em] In this cruel cosmic joke,
[G] We’re torn asunder.

(Bridge)
[G] We’re just stardust,
[Am] In the vast cosmic sea.
[D] We’re just drifters,
[C] In the grand tapestry.

(Chorus)
[D] Desolate dreams and hollow hopes,
[C] Our hearts beat like thunder.
[Em] In this cruel cosmic joke,
[G] We’re torn asunder.
