Rock‘n’Roll Contemplative

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Another town, another stage another roaring crowd They scream my name, they sing my songs, they're singing way too loud But through the sweat, the lights the heat, a question lingers near Is this the dream I chased for years? Or just a blinding fear? [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] Rock 'n' roll, a fever pitch a primal scream so strong We built an empire on three chords, where did we go wrong? Is it the fame, the fortune the endless, empty praise? Or just the echo in my head, of yesterday's lost days? [Chorus] Rock 'n' Roll Contemplative, a melody of doubt Beneath the leather, the sequins trying to figure it all out Are we gods of thunder, or just puppets on a string? This Rock 'n' Roll Contemplative, the song nobody will sing [Bridge] [Verse 2] Remember dusty corner bars, before the magazine spreads? We played for tips and empty stares, and slept in borrowed beds The music mattered then, you see, pure passion burned so bright Now diamond records line the walls, but where's the guiding light? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Is this the life I chose, or the life that chose me back? Consumed by rhythm, trapped inside this endless track! The screaming fans, the flashing lights they're closing in so fast Will this rock 'n' roll rollercoaster forever, truly last? [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Maybe it's the simple things, the feeling in your soul The power in a melody to make you feel whole To lift you up, to break you down, to set your spirit free Maybe that's the only truth, for you and for me [Chorus] Rock 'n' Roll Contemplative, a melody of doubt Beneath the leather, the sequins trying to figure it all out Are we gods of thunder, or just puppets on a string? This Rock 'n' Roll Contemplative, the song nobody will sing [Outro]
