Track Insight / Lyrics
You wear a shroud of subway grime
Hiding in the shadows, eyes aligned
With the platform lights that stutter and dance
While trains rumble and steel wheels prance
You prowl the tracks, a phantomstride
Watching over all, this midnight tide
Gazing into the glass and steel abyss
Dreaming of the world beyond the city's hiss
The rhythmic pulse of gutters, steam, and steam
A symphony for your nocturnal scheme
Neon nightwatch, guardian of the glide
Midnight sentinel, marking time inside
The city sleeps, but you remain awake
Watching over all, till the first light breaks
The illuminated faces pass you by
Mirrored in reflections, distant, yet nigh
The susurrus of the urban sprawl
An endless dialect, standing tall
You stalk the margin, a phantom form
Ever-present, yet unseen by dawn
Lost in thought, amidst the steel and neon spa
Hoping for a glimpse beyond the windowpane
The city's relentless rhythm, a hypnotic sway
A lullaby for your nocturnal ways
Neon nightwatch, guardian of the glide
Midnight sentinel, marking time inside
The city sleeps, but you remain awake
Watching over all, till the first light breaks
And when the dawn begins to seep
And night gives way to city streets to keep
You'll retreat, to alcoves and darkened spaces
Until the evening's neon calls your face
Neon nightwatch, steadfast and true
Midnight guardian, ever watchful anew
The city's secrets, you'll hold inside
Till the next night, and the neon ride
Neon flicker, city hum
Midnight heartbeat, pulse that's come
A watchful shadow, in the city's sway
Neon nightwatch, through the darkest day.
