Track Insight / Lyrics
I stand in a dilapidated stairwell
Holding this corroded brass scope up high
Reflecting the ruin where city sprawls fell
Inverted silhouettes of lost skyline high
In the moss that clings to crumbled walls
Is where I've found solace through the scope's lens
The aqueous swirl of verdant, primeval halls
Portals to a time when nature transcends
Beneath tangled roots and reclaimed by vines
Forgotten mechanisms whir in cryptic rhymes
Battered signs creak and rust as leaves align
Ephemeral moments frozen, as if in crime scene time
In the moss that clings to crumbled walls
Is where I've found solace through the scope's lens
The aqueous swirl of verdant, primeval halls
Portals to a time when nature transcends
Cobwebs dance and ivy climbs the elevators
Pigeon feathers and crushed cigarette filters
Tattered fabrics snagging on splintered frames
Visions of lives lived and their embers' remains
In the moss that clings to crumbled walls
Is where I've found solace through the scope's lens
The aqueous swirl of verdant, primeval halls
Portals to a time when nature transcends
Echoes of the city's former bustle fade
Like whispers on the wind through towering shade
A reverberating pulse, a symphony unfaded
As nature's reclaiming pace hastens its blade
In the moss that clings to crumbled walls
Is where I've found solace through the scope's lens
The aqueous swirl of verdant, primeval halls
Portals to a time when nature transcends
Sirens wail, distant drums and foghorns moan
I pack away my scope and walk this overgrown
Angle of crumbling skyscrapers, moss-covered tomb
Leaving repeats, murmur of a city in succumb
