Track Insight / Lyrics
I'm a watchman guarding the dark
Flashlight trembling, a wary spark
Each car that turns onto gravel, I steel myself
For strangers, ghosts, or a runaway zeal
The engine hums like a distant hum of fate
A promise of escape, both sweet and late
I resist the siren's call, I must remain
A sentinel on the edge of the grain
But in my solitude, I feel the beat
Resonating deep, a melancholy repeat
Of all the lives lived and lost in the night
As neon lights make shadows take flight
I've seen it all, from sighs to screams
Fleeting moments seized in the beam
Of my light, their truths laid bare
Secrets and sorrow, love and despair
The engine hums like a distant hum of fate
A promise of freedom, a choice to participate
I long to surrender, to give in, to roam
But duty binds me, an anchor in this mooring
But in my solitude, I feel the beat
Resonating deep, a melancholy repeat
Of all the lives lived and lost in the night
As neon lights make shadows take flight
Perhaps someday, the torch will pass
To another, and I'll find my grass
A place to rest, to dream and to heal
Away from the city's insistent steel
But for now, the beat goes on and on
A magnetic force that keeps me strong
In this endless dance through the dark of night
I'll keep my watch, my flash, my light
Neon puddles growing faint
As dawn's first light starts to gain
I'll stay vigilant, a shadow on the wall
Until the morning, until I must fall.
