Track Insight / Lyrics
Misty bridge undulates, neon city lights aglow
Ghostly silhouettes dance to an ambiance low
Cracked concrete beneath, crunching underfoot
Shadows grow longer as evening takes its root
Fog rolls in like a beast through the hollowed-out streets
Abandoned doll shop windows, cracked and streaked with heat
Somewhere in my head, a voice is calling me
Whispers in the night, like memories
Faceless faces, half-remembered names
Trapped in this Exclusion Zone in the rain
Losing my reflection, it's slipping away
Into the abyss, where the dreams go astray
Can't find the surface, it's hard to breathe
Drowning in shadows, oh, is this my destiny?
Night-shift diner lights reflected in the wet
Sizzling grease and coffee, staccato beats
Regulars huddled by the counter, lips moving in the hush
I pour whiskey, no ice, for the man with the worn-out rush
2019 registration on a rusty broadsword
Resting carelessly by the door, should I have drawn it?
Somewhere in my head, a voice is calling me
Whispers in the night, like memories
Faceless faces, half-remembered names
Trapped in this Exclusion Zone in the rain
Losing my reflection, it's slipping away
Into the abyss, where the dreams go astray
Can't find the surface, it's hard to breathe
Drowning in shadows, oh, is this my destiny?
I diced up the motherboard, made a fire in the night
Pulled the bullets from my jacket
aimed at the moon's pale light
Broke the Valentine's Day promise, to find a way to stay
Even now, I can't resist, the call of the Exclusion Zone's gray
Losing my reflection, it's slipping away
Into the abyss, where the dreams go astray
Can't find the surface, it's hard to breathe
Drowning in shadows, oh, is this my destiny?
Low hum of the turbines, wind-scoured chimes, and rust
The only sounds that echo, in this post-apocalyptic crust
Can't find the way out, not without a fight
Will I survive the night, or just fade into the mist?
Last call at the diner, neon sign flickers out
Geiger's static ambience, the only sound about
A lone figure disappears into the dark of the night
As the Exclusion Zone, swallows him up, out of sight
