Track Insight / Lyrics
Autumn's chill in historic stones
Leaden light on cobble roads alone
Each footprint telling stories untold
Of life and death, tales long cold
I'm drawn to secrets in the cracks
Whispers of the past that tack
Fingerprints of the lives that passed
On Boston's living, beating map
I find myself in echoes here
Steward of the fragments dear
Boston's soul within my ear
Whispers of a century's cheer
Skyscrapers loom, Broadcasting silence
Ghosts of jazz and freedom's violence
In this stillness, I hear their call
A city's echoes, tracing all
(dramatic stab of metallic synths and sidechained kick)
Whispers of the century's rise and fall
In every step, a ghostly call
From patriots' footsteps to the blues
Lafcadio Hearn, 'cross Malcomson's shoes
Through Tremont St. nights of change and strife
Boston's secrets, hidden in this life
I'm drawn to secrets in the cracks
Whispers of the past that tack
Fingerprints of the lives that passed
On Boston's living, beating map
I find myself in echoes here
Steward of the fragments dear
Boston's soul within my ear
Whispers of a century's cheer
In this night, the echoes sway
To the rhythm of a city's gray
In Boston's bones, my path is laid
To follow echoes everywhere
(dramatic stab of metallic synths and sidechained kick)
A city's secrets, tracing all
In every step, a ghostly call
Boston's echoes, whispers through the night
As dawn approaches, shadows fade
Boston's tales, engrained in shade
In footsteps worn, a story told
Of a city built on secrets old.
