Track Insight / Lyrics
You tighten straps where the cobblestones meet sky
Morning light paints the cable silver bright
Your breath plumes hard in the freezing air
Boots kiss the steel with no safety net there
Diner sign flickers, bacon pops loud
I flip an egg, you walk on empty space
Regulars laugh, wrapped in greasy cloud
You balance death with a quiet grace
Cobblestone wire, you walk it alone
Cobblestone wire, the city's your own
One slip and the alley swallows you whole
But you keep moving, a shadow, a soul
Cobblestone wire, steady and cold
Coffee steam rises, mirrors your breath
Grill sizzles low, a steady bass beat
You pause at the midpoint, cheating death
Snow dusts your shoulders, bitter and sweet
Cobblestone wire, you walk it alone
Cobblestone wire, the city's your own
One slip and the alley swallows you whole
But you keep moving, a shadow, a soul
Cobblestone wire, steady and cold
My spatula clicks on the blackened steel
You reach the far roof, unclip, exhale
The tension breaks like a wound that will heal
Morning rush starts, the regulars yell
Cobblestone wire, you lived to tell
Grease stains my apron, frost on your coat
Two worlds collide in the narrow lane
You wink at the window, staying afloat
Then vanish upstairs through a fire escape pane
Dishes pile up, the lunch crowd rolls in
I barely noticed the wire was gone
Just another shift where the day begins
Another ghost dance on the icy lawn
Cobblestone wire, you walk it alone
Cobblestone wire, the city's your own
One slip and the alley swallows you whole
But you keep moving, a shadow, a soul
Cobblestone wire, steady and cold
Cobblestone wire, story untold
Neon hums low, the grill keeps it hot
Another tightrope, another shot
