Track Insight / Lyrics
Windswept and lonely,
The harbour lurches, I stand still
Midnight's chill, my bones ache
Each step a burden, the city's laws
Can't hold me back from the night
I'm an outcast, no place to hide
From the shadows that drive me to the brink
Of losing my mind, my resolve weak
Against the tide of my restless thoughts
That drown me, every single night
Rain lashes down, mask my scars
A tempest in my troubled heart
Steadfast and proud, I face the storm
Embers remain, my defiant spark
I'll rise again from the darkest night
Bathed in neon, I'll chase the light
Break the shackles of my eternally restless life
And find my solace, my survival, my strife
Cardboard boxes line the wall
Spare change, the only treasure I call mine
The city's pulse, a heavy weight
The call of freedom, a siren's cruel bait
I'm a ghost, invisible to most
Drowned in the crowd, but never lost
I frequent the spots where the lost souls sleep
Picking up their stories, their struggles, their secrets deep
In the city's belly, where the outcasts roam
I eke out a living, a life of my own
Where self-preservation is the only game
And the stakes are my sanity, my very name
Rain lashes down, mask my scars
A tempest in my troubled heart
Steadfast and proud, I face the storm
Embers remain, my defiant spark
I'll rise again from the darkest night
Bathed in neon, I'll chase the light
Break the shackles of my eternally restless life
And find my solace, my survival, my strife
I've lost count of the nights I've spent
Alone, curled up in a doorway, spent
The cries of the city, a lullaby
As dawn breaks, the world shakes me awake
The heat of the day, a balm to my skin
But the cold darkness creeps back in
Echoes of my past, a specter I can't escape
Haunting my every step, a relentless ache
For a place to call home, to lay my weary head
But I know better than to trust the words unsaid
The city's a predator, always looking for prey
And I'm just another nameless face in the gray
Rain lashes down, mask my scars
A tempest in my troubled heart
Steadfast and proud, I face the storm
Embers remain, my defiant spark
I'll rise again from the darkest night
Bathed in neon, I'll chase the light
Break the shackles of my eternally restless life
And find my solace, my survival, my strife
I step into the fray, a silent rebel
My footsteps a declaration, a refusal to yield
The city's noise, a symphony to my plight
I'll dance in the shadows, I'll fight for the day
Every step a protest, a pounding in my chest
I'll rise up, defy the odds, and never be beaten
From the depths of despair, I'll find my way back
To the light that guides me, through the city's black
No more chains, no more cages, no more shame
I'll shatter the glass ceiling, and claim my reclaim
Midnight fades, dawn breaks, a new day begins
I'll keep on walking, until I find my place within
The city's heart beats strong, a rhythm I've learned to know
And with every step, I'll find my strength to grow.
