Track Insight / Lyrics
Five decks down, buried deep
A man of the sea, retired and asleep
Windows of the attic gaze
Morn's golden rays, across the gaze
Battered brass, dusty nails
Belongings of a life at sea
Shoulder poked by sun's breeze
He dreams of gulls and easy seas
Rust's cold kiss on his skin
A warrior, now idle and thin
His heart, a weathered warn-torn crown
Dulled by time, yet still unbroken down
Oh, he holds on to the fading light
In the corners, where sun beams in bright
Memories of the open blue
Neon reflections, his heart anew
Trapped between the here and there
A sailor lost, without a care
VIROCO water clock's soft tick
Marks the hours of a life unwound quick
In the mist, a ghostly figure floats
Released from chains of purpose, halcyon moats
A man set free, yet stuck as stone
Wind whispers secrets, 'neath the neon cone
Rust's cold kiss on his skin
A warrior, now idle and thin
His heart, a weathered warn-torn crown
Dulled by time, yet still unbroken down
Oh, he holds on to the fading light
In the corners, where sun beams in bright
Memories of the open blue
Neon reflections, his heart anew
In the city's symphony
Of steel and concrete reverie
He finds his instrument anew
And plays the songs, of the things he knew
Oh, he holds on to the fading light
In the corners, where sun beams in bright
Memories of the open blue
Neon reflections, his heart anew
Gears tick, shadows recede
Clock hands move, rhythm proceed
Neon fade, warm dark descend
repeats of a life, within his bed.
