Track Insight / Lyrics
Boston's brick pavement sprawls before me
Glazed in the amber glow of autumn leaves
Reflections of the city's steel harness dance
In the pools of this ancient walking street
Every step connects me to the stones
I breath half-remembered hymns from youth
Fading echoes wrap around me like a shroud
In this tardy century's twilight hold
Fleeting lives converge upon the cold
Forgotten songs reverberate through time
Echoes tracing lost dreams, mine and ours, sublime
As dawn's pale fingers penetrate the dark
The human tide resumes its endless march
Fragile moments build to anthemic thrall
Boston's pulse ignites and now it's all
Beneath the weight of history's passing line
Each imprint carries secrets left in time
Whispers of lives both lived and left behind
In every brick and every stone entwined
In this tardy century's twilight hold
Fleeting lives converge upon the cold
Forgotten songs reverberate through time
Echoes tracing lost dreams, mine and ours, sublime
For an instant, all the city's din dies down
As through a lens, I focus on this ground
Where lives have intersected, clashed and found
Meaning in the cracks of urban time's unbound
And so I stand among the ghostly crowd
Where past and present blend and knowingly nod
To lives both spoken and unsaid aloud
In this Neo
Timescape, I am made of roads
Scanning through the night
Neon lights a flattened grid
