Track Insight / Lyrics
Shelves stretch, where shadows play
Old books whisper tales by day
Pasting posters on the walls,
Years collecting, they enthrall
But now, the night's my stage
When words need to turn the page
In this hush, a duty calls
Guarding knowledge 'til the squalls
Of morning come, when dew's fresh
And all the secrets are repressed
Through the night, my steady beam
Unlock stories, break the dream
Oh, the tales that I will tell
When the library's empty shell
Aks me to its midnight heart
And let my flashlight tell its part
In this basement, where I belong
With the books, and the songs I've sung
Dusty tomes, in cardboard sleeves
Forgotten classics quietly breathe
All those stories, one by one
Their secrets to the dawn are done
But in this hour, they're alive
In the silence, I thrive
In this hush, a duty calls
Guarding knowledge 'til the squalls
Of morning come, when dew's fresh
And all the secrets are repressed
Through the night, my steady beam
Unlock stories, break the dream
Oh, the tales that I will tell
When the library's empty shell
Aks me to its midnight heart
And let my flashlight tell its part
In this basement, where I belong
With the books, and the songs I've sung
A storied life, 'neath floorboards deep
In the heart of knowledge, I sleep
Watch over secrets, through the night
When no one else holds the light
Oh, the tales that I will tell
When the library's empty shell
Aks me to its midnight heart
And let my flashlight tell its part
In this basement, where I belong
With the books, and the songs I've sung
Glimmering dark, spotlight fades
Time for dreamers to replace
