Track Insight / Lyrics
Cracked concrete beneath the soles
Of steel-capped boots, worn and polished
Beneath the neon glow, a stage set
For the lonely dance, I've grown to know
Grime on the walls, from dawn till night
A canvas worn, for my weary sight
In the city's heart, where dreams are fraught
A welder's tale, forever caught
Bounded by bricks, where steps unworn
Mark the passage, of a life forlorn
Fall of dusk, the work's done, I'm drained
Exhaustion's siren, a lullaby played
In the shadows, the city's alive
A metropolis thrumming, yet I can't thrive
The weight of the world, in every line
As I lay my head, amidst the grime
In the city's heart, where dreams are fraught
A welder's tale, forever caught
Bounded by bricks, where steps unworn
Mark the passage, of a life forlorn
Autumn leaves skitter, as I pass by
Golden hues, mocking a life left behind
The city's pulse beats, in every stone
Yet in my soul, a void is grown
Each breath I take, a story untold
Of chasing the dream, that grew old
In the city's heart, where dreams are fraught
A welder's tale, forever caught
Bounded by bricks, where steps unworn
Mark the passage, of a life forlorn
What were they thinking, when they laid
These bricks so long, in this concrete grey
Did they dream of lives, of futures bright?
Or merely built, a tomb for night?
Their stories silenced, by the ages' din
As I walk on, with feet that pin
In the city's heart, where dreams are fraught
A welder's tale, forever caught
Bounded by bricks, where steps unworn
Mark the passage, of a life forlorn
The weight of the city, fades with the night
As I step away, from the neon light
The bricks remain, a testament to time
And the dreams that faded, like a last good-bye.
