Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon embers burning bright
Glacier heart, a hardness worn in the night
I'm turning pages in this sketchbook mind
Trying to fill the blankness, chronicle the grind
Guitars whispering in my ear
As I prowl the lot, cigarette smoke and beer
Flickering neon signs, a strobe-lit stage
For the midnight masquerade I never could engage
I used to dream about moving through the crowd
But here I am, locked in a motel shroud
Adrift, I circle through this sea of tin
Feeling like a ghost, invisible and thin
But in the shadows, I find my sway
An underground heartbeat in this concrete gray
Oh, neon puddles, streets alive
I'm tracing love notes in the neon's light
Electric hope, an expensive thrill
In this city's gleam, I'm lost but standing still
The city hums, a hundred unfamiliar hearts
I'm scanning faces, searching for a spark
But the crowd dissolves, swallowed by the dark
Left with only echoes of love that left its mark
I can't escape the feeling of being cold
A frozen solitaire, too guarded to be bold
Adrift, I circle through this sea of tin
Feeling like a ghost, invisible and thin
But in the shadows, I find my sway
An underground heartbeat in this concrete gray
Oh, neon puddles, streets alive
I'm tracing love notes in the neon's light
Electric hope, an expensive thrill
In this city's gleam, I'm lost but standing still
Maybe someday, I'll find my way to love
Bury this nocturnal dread and finally be above
But for now, the night is all that I know
A lonely canvas, where my thoughts go
Oh, neon puddles, streets alive
I'm tracing love notes in the neon's light
Electric hope, an expensive thrill
In this city's gleam, I'm lost but standing still
Neon embers fading, the night begins to slow
I'll pack up my notebook, let the city's lights glow
Another page turned, another restless night
Dressed in shadows, a whispered, dwindling light.
