Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain pounds the roofer's slate,
Thunder rumbles like a gentleman's weight
The porch creaks, the wind whistles through,
An antique watch beside me, polished, true
In the holding cell of time,
Empty moments tick away to rhyme
Each click a heartbeat in the dark,
Until the storm's surprised lullaby
But in this pocket's hallowed space,
A world watches, waiting for its time and place
Pulse of hours, seconds, minutes too
A keeper's role, a story true
The storm subsides, the clouds descry
A cityscape in the fading light
Neon signs hum, like secrets shared
In the embrace of the night air
In the holding cell of time,
Empty moments tick away to rhyme
Each click a heartbeat in the dark,
Until the city's surprised lullaby
But in this living's restless pace,
A story's rhythm beats its time and space
Heartbeats, breaths, and prayers released
A tale unfolded in the fragile peace
The watch's hands chase shadows cast
As life flows by in a flux so vast
The storm returns with wind and rain
A symphony of time's refrain
In the holding cell of time,
Empty moments tick away to rhyme
Each click a heartbeat in the dark,
Until the storm's surprised lullaby
But in this pocket's sacred hold,
A tale's arc foretold of time unwound
Pulse of life, the seconds told,
A keeper's role, a story's gold
In the gulf between the ticking and the void,
The keeper's heartbeat calms the silent bird
As moments pass in vapor trails,
The timekeeper's vigil never fails
So in this pocket's hallowed space,
A world watches, waiting for its time and place
Pulse of hours, seconds, minutes true
A keeper's role, a story shining through
The storm subsides, the neon hums fade,
The watch keeps ticking, an unbroken thread
Of life and time in fleeting shade,
In the keeper's lullaby, the rest is said.
