Track Insight / Lyrics
Roadside diner, 3am high
Denim-clad, a lone man passing by
Welder's soot on his jacket worn
From the job that he can't call his own
Whiskey tracing the rim of his cup
Staring out the smeared window at the dark up
His city's neon grid, a distant hum
A midnight heartbeat, a rhythm begun
Neon sigh, in the joint's lonely light
A stranger's story, just a fleeting might
Neon sigh, reflected on the blue plate
A moment's peace, before he steps back into the fight
The diner's air reeks of greasy meat and smoke
He's a ghost, just a faceless, worn-out cloak
His thoughts are miles away, lost in the haze
Of a life that's moved on, while he stays in these daze
Whiskey tracing the rim of his cup
Staring out the smeared window at the dark, up
His city's neon grid, a distant hum
A midnight heartbeat, a rhythm begun
Neon sigh, in the joint's lonely light
A stranger's story, just a fleeting might
Neon sigh, reflected on the blue plate
A moment's peace, before he steps back into the fight
He'll rise, he'll drink his coffee black
Leave the diner's warmth, step back into the track
Of neon lights and the city's slow sway
A lonely worker, chasing the day
Neon sigh, in the joint's lonely light
A stranger's story, just a fleeting might
Neon sigh, reflected on the blue plate
A moment's peace, before he steps back into the fight
Neon glow fades, a distant hum
He disappears, just a moment's some
In the diner's mirror, a ghost's blink
Losing himself in the city's neon slink.
