[Verse 1]
Late night whiskey, memories start to blur
Through the smoke rings, nothing seems to stir
Corner office turned to empty halls
Pride and status take their final falls
[Chorus]
Watch me fade out, like jazz notes in the rain
Every day now, feels just like the same
These city lights, they don't shine like before
When dignity's slipping through the floor
[Verse 2]
Three-piece suit collecting dust today
Mirror shows a man who lost his way
Bills keep coming, pressure's closing in
While my old man's stories wearing thin
[Bridge]
Sometimes I catch him staring out at nothing
Empty glass, empty dreams, still struggling
But we keep playing this tune
Under this same damn moon
[Verse 3]
Downtown blues and neon-painted lies
Sweet salvation in these smoky skies
Every setback leaves another scar
But hell, we're still here where we are
[Chorus]
Watch me fade out, like jazz notes in the rain
Every day now, feels just like the same
These city lights, they don't shine like before
When dignity's slipping through the floor
[Outro]
In this late-night joint where old souls play
Stories fade like smoke that drifts away
But somewhere in these melodies divine
We find ourselves, one note at a time
