Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust on my fingers still
Neon bleeds on wet cobblestone
Ship's log lost to sonar drill
This harbor isn't water, it's chrome
Iron roots hold fast in rain
Night city cannot break the chain
Lamp still swings though shore is gone
I keep the light on, I keep the light on
Gull cries replaced by siren wail
Fog rolls thick through fiber wire
No compass works in this detail
Just rust and rhythm, steam and fire
Iron roots hold fast in rain
Night city cannot break the chain
Lamp still swings though shore is gone
I keep the light on, I keep the light on
Knew every rock by sound and feel
Now concrete canyons eat the swell
The beam still cuts through glass and steel
A different dark, a different hell
Iron roots hold fast in rain
Night city cannot break the chain
Lamp still swings though shore is gone
I keep the light on, I keep the light on
They paved the ocean, called it progress
Laid cable where the kelp once grew
But anchors don't ask for permission
They bite down deep and hold on true
Iron roots hold fast in rain
Night city cannot break the chain
Lamp still swings though shore is gone
I keep the light on, I keep the light on
This iron holds, this iron holds
Lamp still swings through chrome and glass
Iron holds where tides don't pass
