Track Insight / Lyrics
( arpeggiated electric piano, subtle drum groove )
Concrete under my steel-toe boots
Denim dust, sweat crystallized
Metalic hums accompany my steps
Telepath lines, wires at my fingertips
The city's pulse, it's calling me
Neon lights in unfamiliar places I used to know
Sunken eyes reflecting on the sky
Smokestacks pierce, casting long silhouettes by twilight
The hum of machines, the distant roar
Part of me, a ghost, forever on the line
In the city's belly, under lights so bright
I'm a welder's hand, a spark of life
From the steel and steel, to the sparks I make
My existence, in the city's sway, it can't be fake
Forged by fire, tempered by rain
Soot on skin, a badge of my claim
Electrons dance, as I weave my tale
Railway tracks, a symphony, a wailing gale
The city's rhythms, my heartbeat now
A steady drum, as I swing my blow
Sunken eyes reflecting on the sky
Smokestacks pierce, casting long silhouettes by twilight
The hum of machines, the distant roar
Part of me, a ghost, forever on the line
In the city's belly, under lights so bright
I'm a welder's hand, a spark of life
From the steel and steel, to the sparks I make
My existence, in the city's sway, it can't be fake
Streetcars rumble, the city's lullaby
Siren calls, a requiem for the night sky
I'm enthralled by the unseen, the unknown
In the city's maze, where shadows roam
In the city's belly, under lights so bright
I'm a welder's hand, a spark of life
From the steel and steel, to the sparks I make
My existence, in the city's sway, it can't be fake
( electric piano arpeggios fade out )
