Track Insight / Lyrics
(Desert breeze whistles through the stucco)
Footsteps tap in gravel, guiding me, wanting me to find my way
In this desert's teeth, where sun blisters my skin
Compass in my hand, a lonely man begins
To follow ancient lines, directions from a bygone age
Sifting through worn stones, for answers that I'll stage
I hold my worn map close, a ghost of faded blue
Each crease tells a story, of trials I've been through
The buried ruins call me, an echoey siren's song
Leading me closer to secrets, that I've yet to belong
Footsteps reckoning, a ledger to keep
Each step weighs the miles, as the road begins to seep
Into the compass' heart, reorienting my stride
On a path to redemption, where the truth will reside
At dusk, the motel neon flickers, a mirage on the plain
A faded sign beckons tired, with amenities to regain
Room number '6' etched in red, a number I recall
The voice that said it, now a memory that won't succumb
I hold my worn map close, a ghost of faded blue
Each crease tells a story, of trials I've been through
The buried ruins call me, an echoey siren's song
Leading me closer to secrets, that I've yet to belong
Footsteps reckoning, a ledger to keep
Each step weighs the miles, as the road begins to seep
Into the compass' heart, reorienting my stride
On a path to redemption, where the truth will reside
Cracked concrete and dry grass, leading to where I must tread
The desert's eyes watch me, with a silent, judging head
Every footfall measures time, and the lies that I've spun
But the truth is closer now, beneath the scorching sun
Footsteps reckoning, a ledger to keep
Each step weighs the miles, as the road begins to seep
Into the compass' heart, reorienting my stride
On a path to redemption, where the truth will reside
In this desert's belly, where secrets slumber deep
Footsteps reckoning, a ledger I must keep
To find my reckoning, I must let go the past
And trust the compass' truth, at last.
