Track Insight / Lyrics
Beneath the overpass, streetlights glare
Dried blood in my Bouclé sneakers, mismatched with the tar
Peeling paint and iron lace, mementos of another age
The ghosts of lovers embracing in alley ways
Rain-soaked, eyes to the sidewalk, worn and gray
Teddy P's and Keds, flip flops that came and went away
We filmed our coming of age, Exposures to the bone
A generation's rhythm, all we ever known
Boston brick, you crumble, time's tide
Of those who touched your beaten pride
Now just a relic, a postcard faded
Of us who cut our teeth, on rock and shade and
Forgotten summers, nights alive with crackle
A city's heartbeat, a metal wire throb
Pulse beneath the pavement, a rhythm in my bones
Echoes of a reckoning, sour and undone
Screeching tires, police sirens wail
We ran wild, our laughter, the only wail
Kissing in the shadows, secrets in the night
A crumbling beauty, in this city's disarray
Forgotten summers, nights alive with crackle
A city's heartbeat, a metal wire throb
Pulse beneath the pavement, a rhythm in my bones
Echoes of a reckoning, sour and undone
A solitary guitar riff, raw and wild
Bass drops, snare and cymbals till drums outrailed
A feedback wail gives way to screams of rage
A demolition of silence, a rebirth on stage
Neon-soaked memories, a haze of dust and smoke
Scenes of reckless abandon, as the flavors broke
Guitars intertwine, a spider's web of sound
A chorus of forgotten ghosts, forever bound
Forgotten summers, nights alive with crackle
A city's heartbeat, a metal wire throb
Pulse beneath the pavement, a rhythm in my bones
Echoes of a reckoning, sour and undone
Now the rain subsides, the streets grow still
A haunting melody, where the city's will
Fades into the bricks, a distant hum
As I walk away, with the city as my tomb.
