How Long - Shannon Hurley

Winding down Mulholland Drive

Darkness looming on the hillside

Nowhere to go, I’m all alone

Sometimes this city feels so cold

I didn’t want to get caught up in this life

When will the emptiness subside

How long til I get there

How long will it take

How long until I break

I won’t waste another day

But how long can I wait

The ground shakes beneath my feet

I hear the sound of sirens in my sleep

With every new face in this town

Another star is burning out

I think I’m starting to find out what it means

To sacrifice the world for just one dream

How long til I get there

How long will it take

How long until I break

I won’t waste another day

But how long can I wait

Until you find me

That’s all I need to know

I’ll keep on trying I’ll give my heart and soul

How long

How long til I get there

How long will it take

How long before I break

How long
