Track Insight / Lyrics
I press the brass to ancient keys
No door for them, just spokes and teeth
Along the fire escape's rusted spine
My fingers trace a winding head
Night's accent fades, the neon stains
Reflect the world of fading lanes
This city's labyrinth, my last port
Ghosts of love and lives left to cort
Through alleys, up and round and through
The fire escape's ladder maps anew
Fading light and syncopated time
Adrift, yet drawn to some place sublime
Duskbound, pursuing where day's gone
Edges sought, heart still lost and strong
Summer's dream on twilight's tide
Duskbound, secrets sidled to abide
Metal steps beneath my palm, like veins
Pulsing heat, the city's dying strains
Worn concrete, once a lover's kiss
Now threads stained with sorrow's ink and mist
Rewinds of years, the urban maze
Echoes of what's been, and what now daze
This city's labyrinth, my last port
Ghosts of love and lives left to cort
Through alleys, up and round and through
The fire escape's ladder maps anew
Fading light and syncopated time
Adrift, yet drawn to some place sublime
Duskbound, pursuing where day's gone
Edges sought, heart still lost and strong
Summer's dream on twilight's tide
Duskbound, secrets sidled to abide
High up, the wind's memoried sigh
Clasps the city's canvas, night's disguise
All this tapestry of faded hues
Framework for the secrets yet to brew
Duskbound, pursuing where day's gone
Edges sought, heart still lost and strong
Summer's dream on twilight's tide
Duskbound, secrets sidled to abide
Closing in, the shadows take hold
Whispers merge, dusk's mystery unfold
Fade to black, the day's last glow
Summer's end, and dusk's sweet no go
