Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold air bites the cobblestone
Walking through the street alone
Brass case catches winter glare
Frozen static in the air
Gold in the grey, spinning fast
Holding on to things that last
Watch the ticking, feel the heat
Burning holes into the street
Silver lens and shutter snap
Falling in a heavy trap
Glass reflects a jagged line
Cutting through the frozen brine
Gold in the grey, spinning fast
Holding on to things that last
Watch the ticking, feel the heat
Burning holes into the street
Winter breath is thick and white
Searching for a single light
Heavy gears begin to grind
Leaving every ghost behind
Metal skin and rusted spring
Hear the heavy hammer ring
Pressure builds inside the chest
Running till the heart can rest
Buses hum a low refrain
Washing out the winter stain
Numbers jump and needles slide
Nowhere left for them to hide
Gold in the grey, spinning fast
Holding on to things that last
Watch the ticking, feel the heat
Burning holes into the street
Copper glow against the wall
Waiting for the night to fall
One last frame to keep the view
Painting everything in blue
Gold in the grey, spinning fast
Holding on to things that last
Watch the ticking, feel the heat
Burning holes into the street
Tick tock, gold in the grey
Tick tock, fade away
