Track Insight / Lyrics
Sole bridges over neon seams
Reflections dance in sketchy dreams
Coffee in a styro cup, cold as the night
Short orders for the lonely, diner fights
I count the steps on this precarious wire
At 3 am, I'm high up here,
No safety net, no fallback plan
Just the city lights in my hand
Neon puddles, streets alive
I'm walking on a thread of light
Footprints in the dark, echoes behind
In the night, I find my rhythm fine
Whispers of the city, distant sirens moan
A solitary king of broken hours alone
Drumming fingers on my jeans, a lonely beat
Trying to distract from the quiet, my racing feet
TB-303 squelches kick and snare
Depth charge bass in my chest, I declare
I'm the neon monarch of this concrete throne
Walking on the wind, I am alone
Graffiti-scrawled walls, a urban canvas gray
Shadow puppets of the passing drive-by
A chewed-up cigarette in the gutter lies
Where dreams are eaten by the city's hungry eyes
I count the steps on this precarious wire
At 3 am, I'm high up here,
No safety net, no fallback plan
Just the city lights in my hand
Neon puddles, streets alive
I'm walking on a thread of light
Footprints in the dark, echoes behind
In the night, I find my rhythm fine
Solo dancer under the sodium sky
Everything else is dreaming, why should I deny
The tangled beauty of this life on the wire
I'm electrified, a neon fire, I conspire
Supersaw synths pierce the night
Kicks and snare ignite, now it's right
Up the skyscrapers I ascend
Neon king, I transcend
Footsteps fade on asphalt wear
Midnight glow of parking lot glare
Neon puddles, streets alive
In the night, I found my drive
