Track Insight / Lyrics
I taste the hydraulic oil
Mag-boots stamp my carbon skin
Her oculars burn like grill coils
Twin amber ghosts in void-light grin
Deck plate knows the runner's weight
Deck plate holds the silent freight
Glowing eyes map the escape route
Steel keeps secrets, steel stays mute
Coolant drips like bad coffee
Torque wrenches sing the midnight shift
She jacks the port behind my ear
Data bleeds through fiber rift
Deck plate knows the runner's weight
Deck plate holds the silent freight
Glowing eyes map the escape route
Steel keeps secrets, steel stays mute
Flight suit patches tell her wars
Kessler syndrome, pirate kings
I felt the kick of mass drivers
Heard the scream of snapping strings
Deck plate knows the runner's weight
Deck plate holds the silent freight
Glowing eyes map the escape route
Steel keeps secrets, steel stays mute
Hangar bay goes cold and quiet
Atmo scrubbers wheeze and slow
Her reflection fades in my pitting
Only scrap metal left to show
No order called, no ticket punched
Just vacuum waiting past the seals
I hold the heat her boots have punched
Until the next launch cycle reels
Morning cycle burns the frost away
Maintenance drones swipe clean my face
But carbon remembers what eyes say
Ghost glow etched in steel's embrace
Deck plate knows the runner's weight
Deck plate holds the silent freight
Glowing eyes map the escape route
Steel keeps secrets, steel stays mute
Deck plate knows the runner's weight
Deck plate holds the silent freight
Carbon remembers what eyes say
Steel stays mute beneath the stars
