Audience of None

[Verse 1]
Bare bulb swinging, pictures on the wall
Empty chairs lined up, waiting for ya’ll
Guitar case open, spare change and some dust
My voice sings in silence, thinkin’ just because

Beer’s gone warm on a sticky old table
Hope’s runnin’ thin, still willin’ and able
Words float like smoke, curlin’ up to the beams
Chasing future through everyday dreams

[Chorus]
Playing to an audience of none
Pouring out my soul till the night is done
Every note’s a friend, every song’s like a son
I’m playing to an audience of none

[Verse 2]
Rain taps the window, rhythm in the night
Strummin’ through covers, starin’ through lights
A life built on wishes, and miles yet to go
Night after night, show after show

Heart’s in the music, eyes on the prize
Just gettin’ started, hopin’ to fly
Writin’ my story, one town at a time
Keep turnin pages, it’ll turn out fine

[Chorus]
Playing to an audience of none
Pouring out my soul till the night is done
Every note’s a friend, every song’s like a son
I’m playing to an audience of none

[Bridge]
Dreams gather dust in the corners of rooms
I sweep them together and shoot for the moon
If hope is a river, I’m caught in the run
Still playing to an audience of none

[Outro]
One day these walls might remember my name
Tonight I’m alone with the sound of the game
Still playing, still hoping, still having some fun
Still playing to an audience of none
