Track Insight / Lyrics
Faded highway stretches far
Desert marooned as a lonely star
Toll in hand, I watch the sun
Paint orange hues behind the canyon's bends
Haunting whispers from the trading posts
Echoing long 'til fading ghost
In the still-thrumming heat of day
Memories come drifting by in May
Summer breezes hold forgotten scents
Whispers of those I once went with hence
Neon pulse, desert heartbeat near
In the shade, I face what's clear
Alone on watch, but the lights stay near
Guiding me on through the desert year
The toll lessens as the crowds subside
In silver moonlight, shadows stride
No traffic 'til the dawn breaks through
Between the troughs of empty, dusty hue
I shelter from the lizard's eye
In my box, watching until nighttime
In the still-thrumming heat of day
Memories come drifting by in May
Summer breezes hold forgotten scents
Whispers of those I once went with hence
Neon pulse, desert heartbeat near
In the shade, I face what's clear
Alone on watch, but the lights stay near
Guiding me on through the desert year
Conversations left, like fading sound
Footsteps echoing across the sand ground
The desert's empty, but I'm not alone
In this moment, the toll booth's home
Neon pulse, desert heartbeat near
In the shade, I face what's clear
Alone on watch, but the lights stay near
Guiding me on through the desert year
Digital pulse fades into the night
Desert heartbeat merges with the light
In this lonely watch, I stay true
Alone, but for neon dreams that break through
