Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain drums on the roof, fizzles in the cracks
Neon signs pulse like sick hearts, mocking my own black
Tires hiss on wet cobblestones, timed to my breath
Fueling lone night fights in the city's restless death
Cafes won't open till dawn, the city sleeps
But I'm awake, wheels turning, secrets deep
Behind each passenger, a story I've silently heard
Miles logged, wisdom earned, now they're all gone and blurred
In this square, the stones bear witness to my pain
Each one a step, a mile, since I first drove in vain
No directions here, just my shadow on the wall
A man alone, in Rome, waiting for it all
Exhaust fumes and Gauloise smoke, the chorus of the lost
Taxi bells and racing engines, the lullaby oft
Forgotten hopes and broken dreams, reduced to yesterday's news
Listen close, and you'll hear their ghosts, in every bruised tooth
Cafes won't open till dawn, the city sleeps
But I'm awake, wheels turning, secrets deep
Behind each new passenger, a story I've silently heard
Miles logged, wisdom earned, now they're all gone and blurred
In this square, the stones bear witness to my pain
Each one a step, a mile, since I first drove in vain
No directions here, just my shadow on the wall
A man alone, in Rome, waiting for it all
Dissonant chords, atonal screaming, the anguish unfurls
Guitar tremolo, feedback wails, lose yourself in the edges of the whirl
In this square, the stones bear witness to my pain
Each one a step a mile
since I first drove in vain
No directions here, just my shadow on the wall
A man alone, in Rome, waiting for it all
Fading engine hum, distant morning light
A new day dawns the square
clears I drive into the night
Cobblestone reckoning, a heavy load
Night of ghosts, lone taxi, the road home.
