Track Insight / Lyrics
Stand at the gates, nightshift toll
Where highway steel meets mossy skull
City's heartbeat steady and strong
Each paid passage marks us wrong
In neon's glow, we lose the day
Whispers of ghosts in concrete gray
Flickering signs, desperate pleas
To escape this endless, fevered drive
But beneath the disconnect, I find
A rhythm that's hardwired inside
Syncopated pulse of the night
Steady thrum of the city's fight
Nightshift pulse that never sleeps
Otherworldly beat that we keep
Fading light on crumbling walls
Faded dreams in boarded-up halls
Moss creeps in where the steel shows bare
Nature's pushback, the city's stare
Neon puddles street alive
Leaving me, lost, alive, high
Synthetic euphoria flows
As darkness lets go its stunning, frozen glow
In this twilight, we find our home
Where the digital and organic roam
Two worlds collide, both stark and bright
In the shimmer of the endless night
But beneath the disconnect, I find
A rhythm that's hardwired inside
Syncopated pulse of the night
Steady thrum of the city's fight
Nightshift pulse that never sleeps
Otherworldly beat that we keep
As the dawn approaches, the lights dim fade
Into the haze of a new, tired parade
But the memory of this night stays with me
A fusion of awe, liberation, ecstasy
Neon puddles streets alive
Rise again, lost, alive, high
Synthetic euphoria flows
As darkness lets go its stunning, frozen glow
So I'll stand at the gates of dawn
Where the city's pulse slowly ebbs away
And for one last night, I'll lose myself
In the loop of this endless, nocturnal sway
