Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusted ivy crawls, reaches high
For the crumbling stair
Concrete steps worn by years of restless seekers
Scaling in the night
Seeking brass, a key I hold
Wandering fire escapes cold
Laundry lines like living veins
With secrets of the streets sustains
Wires hum overhead, sodium bright
I climb the spiral stairs
Each landing claustrophobic and dim
Leading upwards, treacherous
Seeking brass, a key I find
Through abandoned spaces of the mind
Faded signs hold hidden clues
To the freedom I pursue
Rusty hinges creak, breathe the air
Of the last refuge, often there
A single window, vinyl floor
The skylight my lone door
Heart pounding, watchful eyes
A latch gives, the lock dies
Hinges protest, grate of pain
As I hoist, muscle and strain
Skeletal view of city sprawl
New heights, the rush, the fall
Found the key, a heavy weight
Rusted, cold, yet I wait
To unlock, the unknown door
And cast off midnight's bore
In darkness, I find my light
A tiny glow through frayed conduit night
Flickering, but guiding me
To transcend this urban sea
Sky's vast, the city's a toy
For one moment, can't deny
The thrill of being alive
Wandering, free, starting anew
Dusk abates, first stars appear
I'm airborne, lost in clear
Below, particulars fade out
From this vantage, the world's new hoot
