Track Insight / Lyrics
The midtown traffic skids, a distant hum
Raindrops prance upon the pavement's tongue
I rise, a lighthouse keening in the blackened air
Beacon of resilience, the storm's despair
My ladder's vertiginous, trembling in the wind
Yet I ascend, foot by foot, not looking down to find
The ocean's roar subsides to a distant drone
As I pierce the veil, the night's gates unknown
Neon puddle waters my upturned face
Reflecting the lamps that draw me to this place
Each step a promise, each breath a prayer
To keep the light alive, as I balance there
Ropes sway in the gusts like tentative lovers' hands
My heart is the anchor, an unyielding stand
I'm a ghost on wires, eluding gravity's call
As the hurricane rages, I stand through it all
In the eye of the maelstrom, the lighthouse stands
A defiant flame, in the darkness of distant lands
My ladder's lengthening, reaching for the sky
To be the hope that guides those passing by
Neon puddle waters my upturned face
Reflecting the lamps that draw me to this place
Each step a promise, each breath a prayer
To keep the light alive, as I balance there
The floods of protesters, the sirens' wail
Just distant echoes, as I chart my trail
With every fiber straining, I push through the night
To share the beacon's warmth, the lighthouse's light
Against the howling winds, I find my resolve
In each rafter's creak, the rhythm I evolve
Through the hunger, the thirst, the doubts that creep
I've learned to find my strength, in the dark to keep
In the strobe-lit void, my voice rises high
A call to resilience, for the lost to defy
Neon shadows dancing, as the crowd erupts in cheer
We rise together, our spirits welded clear
The ladder retracts, my journey now complete
But the beacon's flame, it will forever meet
The souls that it saves, the lives it inspires
In the hearts of the bravest, the lighthouse fires
