Track Insight / Lyrics
Fluorescent undergrowth
Luminous shadows encroach
I'm the sentinel of twilight
Patrolling the neon night
Compass in hand, I wander
Through brambles, weeds and wonder
Tracking secrets in the murk
Under urban skies, on the verge
Rubber meets gravel, the path unwinds
Pumping diesel, metal heartbeat primes
Neon ghosts on distant towers
Echoes of lives lived in hours
I am the nightwatch, watching over this sprawl
Guarding the edges, the wild spaces, the fall
When the lights go down, I step into the fray
Unbound, untethered, I'll see the dawn of day
Dew on spiderwebs, a city solstice
Nature's reclaiming, reclaiming the nexus
I'm the keeper, the bridge between
Where concrete jungle meets wild seed
Fractured reflections off shattered glass
Whispers of lovers, lost in adolescent mass
Desire and danger, a toxic mix
In the darkness, I serve my fix
I am the nightwatch, watching over this sprawl
Guarding the edges, the wild spaces, the fall
When the lights go down, I step into the fray
Unbound, untethered, I'll see the dawn of day
In the shadows, I find my home
Where the future's uncertain, the unknown's my thrown
I'll forge my path, through the gloom and light
I'll keep watching, till the first warm beam of sunlight
When dawn has broken, I'll lay down my head
The secrets kept, the stories unsaid
I am the nightwatch, the seer of the night
An eternal vigil, in the neon light
Neon specters fade, a new day's born
I'll return to the shadows, and the city will yearn
For the nightwatch, forever on the move
Watching, waiting, like a heartbeat that improves.
