Track Insight / Lyrics
Your eyes, like rundown factories
Sleeping ghosts of labor's echoes
Faces worn, in narrow streets
Where the city's heartbeat still bleeds
But I wander, lost in your concrete maze
Where history seeps from every stone and phase
In your steel and brick, I'm searching for a way
To break free, before the darkness drags me down
Coffin nails driven into timeworn wood
Graveyards across from housing projects, juxtaposed as we should
The birthplace of freedom, where chains are bound
In Boston's shadows, I'm drowning, lost, and drowned
But I wander, lost in your concrete maze
Where history seeps from every stone and phase
In your steel and brick, I'm searching for a way
To break free, before the darkness drags me down
Night falls, and with it, all hope fades
A bone-chilling mist swallows the city shades
The tugboat's horn, a mournful sigh
As I'm drawn to the harbor's churning tide
The water's dark, and the streets are slick
But in this gritty hell, I find a spark to stick
To rise up, against the stone and steel
And shatter the chains that this city has shrouded me in
Rage builds, as I confront the night
The chains snap, and I break free from the fight
Through the haze of smoke, I find my strength
Ausyttenzing demons, with each heavy breath
Crescendo in anguish and despair
As I forge a path through the urban concrete air
But I stand tall, in your concrete cage
Where history haunts, but I won't turn the page
In your steel and brick, I found my way
To shatter chains, and seize this winter's day
The city sleeps, but I remain awake
A beacon in darkness, my spirit won't break
Through the mist and smoke, I'll find my way
In Boston's turbulence, a new dawn breaks today
