Track Insight / Lyrics
Chrome lens catches a silver haze
Steel bridge lost in a graphite maze
Trench coat heavy with a midnight dew
Looking for a ghost that I once knew
The needle jumps a jagged line
A warning bell, a broken sign
The air is thick, the light is low
Waiting for the steady glow
Clicking fast in the yellow zone
Walking through the ruins all alone
Cold wind biting through a wooly thread
Searching for the words we never said
Flashbulb pops in the heavy gray
Burning through the ghosts of yesterday
Boot soles crunch on the salted grit
One last match and a cigarette
The needle jumps a jagged line
A warning bell, a broken sign
The air is thick, the light is low
Waiting for the steady glow
Clicking fast in the yellow zone
Walking through the ruins all alone
Cold wind biting through a wooly thread
Searching for the words we never said
Old map torn at the river bend
Where the concrete roads finally end
Flashlight beam on a rusted gate
Coming to the border just a bit too late
Clicking fast in the yellow zone
Walking through the ruins all alone
Cold wind biting through a wooly thread
Searching for the words we never said
Grainy film on a plastic reel
Turning every gear and every wheel
Cigarette ash on a leather sleeve
Something in the air that won't let me leave
Clicking fast in the yellow zone
Walking through the ruins all alone
Cold wind biting through a wooly thread
Searching for the words we never said
Sinking deep in the river mud
Iron taste and a heavy thud
Silver light on a frozen rail
Following a long and lonely trail
Clicking fast in the yellow zone
Walking through the ruins all alone
Cold wind biting through a wooly thread
Searching for the words we never said
Click, click, click.
Just a snapshot.
Yellow zone.
Gone.
