Track Insight / Lyrics
Leather strawberries in my hand
Gutter spills, so I understand
The stories in each sticky scrape
Ice cubes clinking, whiskey swatch
In every bar that won't escape
The truth is numb, but I can taste
A fleeting buzz, a kick in time
Let the rhythm drown my line
Summertime in winter's skin
City burning, heat within
Familiar faces pass me by
Glancing, breathless, revving high
On the night's electric tide
Midnight squelch, my heartbeat loud
Driving me to nowhere proud
Lost in sound, the neon haze
In the moment, I won't gaze
Packed and pulsing, edgy thrill
LBGTQ positivity still
A flash of light, a love so bold
Subverting norms, breaking mold
In this underground sanctum
Fearless expression, no dungeon
Weaving tales of what we've been
Through the music, through the scene
Vocal chops scream, the crowd ignites
Synth squelches, strobe lights collide
Night falls hard, EPIC release
In this sanctuary, I am free
In a jazz club basement deep
Giants of sound, secrets keep
A cobbler's soul with worn hands
Skin so dark, love-stoned eyes, and
A walk of shame, a dance of pride
Through the experiment of life
Midnight squelch, my heartbeat loud
Driving me to nowhere proud
Lost in sound, the neon haze
In the moment, I won't gaze
A patchwork quilt of city lives
From dawn till dusk, and midnight drives
The music swells, the lights ablaze
A fleeting dream, a siren's maze
Squelch scream rise, soaring high
Pulse, and pound, and reach the sky
In this neon-chrome cathedral
Where our tribe, our legacy, is eral
As the lights go down, the beat subsides
Lingering high, an afterglow inside
Until the rise, next night's descent
In the cycle of the endless pavement
