Track Insight / Lyrics
Gritty smoke whispers through the night
Back alley fire escapes, neon lights
I'm perched up high, a lonely sight
Watching city dreams burn out of sight
(Stomp stomp, bass thunders through my chest
Fuzz guitars howl, desert winds caress)
I rebel against the concrete heat
Brave my own fires, alone on concrete streets
I'll chase the flames that light my way
Inspirations flicker, burning, break the day
Electric sparks in smoky gray
Fires to fuel dreams, to live another day
Ablaze in experienced passion play
Fires in my heart, they never fade
Fuel for the drive, burning all my chains
Burning through the night, this endless, winding road
(Pulse pounds heavy, kicks bassline deep
Buzzing riffs churn, eyelids drooping, wheeze)
I'm addicted to the hunger, the cold desire
Torches in my hands, shooting for the higher fire
I'll chase the flames that light my way
Inspirations flicker, burning, break the day
Electric sparks in smoky gray
Fires to fuel dreams, to live another day
Through the smog, through the perfect haze
Lost in the thrill, in the fire's gaze
My soul's a furnace, white hot and aglow
Burning to create, though the costs may grow
(Drums thunder, guitars scream open sky
Vocal cords sear, a throaty sigh)
Whatever I've got, I'm giving it away
Into the blaze, where darkness meets the day
I'll chase the flames that light my way
Inspirations flicker, burning, break the day
Electric sparks in smoky gray
Fires to fuel dreams, to live another day
Haunted by the fire that once consumed
Memories rise, smoke curled 'round
A silhouette flickers, harder to define
Love in the ashes, the warmth left behind
(Fretboard scorch, heart pounds wild and free
Flames licking thirst, echoes from memory)
Through the embers, I'll heed the call
Find the spark that sets my soul on fire, standing tall
I'll chase the flames that light my way
Inspirations flicker, burning, break the day
Electric sparks in smoky gray
Fires to fuel dreams, to live another day
In a city shrouded in a smoldering haze
I'll find my fires, and I won't look back in amaze
With each step forward, I'll leave my old in the past
A phoenix rising, reborn from what was to be, at last.
