Track Insight / Lyrics
Steam rises from the short-order grill
Your boots scrape frost on the windowsill
Wire hums tight between two poles
Breath clouds out in frozen bowls
Eggs flip slow on seasoned steel
You balance weight on inch of heel
Alley stones wear winter's teeth
You taste the cold beneath your teeth
High wire winter, cold and clean
High wire winter, balance mean
One foot forward, one foot back
High wire winter, watch the crack
Regulars don't ask you why
They've seen that look in winter sky
Grease stains map the counter top
You never stop, you never stop
High wire winter, cold and clean
High wire winter, balance mean
One foot forward, one foot back
High wire winter, watch the crack
Wind cuts through the alley gap
No safety net, no fallback map
Just vibration in the line
And the rhythm of your spine
Morning rush will hit the door
But you've got miles of wire more
Cobblestones don't care for fame
They just hold the cold the same
Coffee's cold but wire's hot
You give the line everything you got
Diner lights blur into streak
Strong enough, not loud, not weak
High wire winter, cold and clean
High wire winter, balance mean
One foot forward, one foot back
High wire winter, watch the crack
Wire sings low, you walk the line
Winter breaks, you walk on time
