Track Insight / Lyrics
Logbook in my lap
Coffee's turned to oil in the cup
Clawhammer's worn thumbpicking
Echoes hollow from the tin roof
The flash on my lantern casting shadows
On the steel diner booth's chromed edges
Rusting, faded, nothing lasts but the moments
In this 3
AM wasteland
Rain's foreach glass, each drop a single tear
Crows sit sentinel on the abandoned road
Sound of my foot heel and toes stomp
Footsteps a metronome in an empty town
The flash on my lantern casting shadows
On the steel diner booth's chromed edges
Rusting, faded, nothing lasts but the moments
In this 3
AM wasteland
A solitary diner, a beacon lost
Out here in the darkness, spinning fast
Wheels on the highway, thunder in the distance
Whispers of a world moving, never in pause
Distant rumble fade, mist rise
Blindly feel through the canvas hood
The night's alive, a stormy sea
We're small, it's vast, the universe is cruel
Caffeine wears off, my eyes grow heavy
The world slows to a crawl, my heartbeat steady
Dew's on the windshield, morning's near
The night's secrets safely buried, the dawn will clear
The flash on my lantern casting shadows
On the steel diner booth's chromed edges
Rusting, faded, nothing lasts but the moments
In this 3
AM wasteland
Screw the lid on tight, back to the lighthouse
Lamp lit, a guiding light through darkness's night
No direction home, no place to roam
Just this 3
AM place, alone
