Track Insight / Lyrics
Ceramic mug on cobblestone
First light kisses cold marble floor
Shutters sealed on Via Corso
Espresso waits behind the door
Ceramic dawn, I wait alone
Altos hum in keys unknown
Breath held tight like choir before
Mass begins on marble floor
Pigeons roost on Bernini's shoulder
Campanile tolls the hour older
My breath a cloud, a visible prayer
No tourists crowd the Vatican square
Rickenbacker growls in chest cavity
Straight razor hi-hats, no mercy
Angular bass, cold theology
Heart keeps time, fierce and thirsty
Ceramic dawn, I wait alone
Altos hum in keys unknown
Breath held tight like choir before
Mass begins on marble floor
Kyrie eleison in my head
Christe eleison, unsaid
Alto line descends, then rises
Dawn breaks open, no disguises
Shutters bang, the square awakens
Espresso screams, the spell is broken
Ceramic mug still warm in hand
Last quiet moment,
