Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog clings low to Herengracht rails
Moth rests pale on rusted nail
My lens catches dust on glass
Breath clouds rise then fade fast
Shutter clicks, the moment stays
[Pre-
Wheels hiss past on wet cobble
Wings stay shut, no need to battle
Light cuts thin through iron arches
Dark water swallows fallen stars
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Winter fog has claimed the ridge
Two runaways, one camera eye
Amsterdam in black and white
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Red bikes lean on frozen chains
Moth wings catch the sodium veins
Your fingers numb on metal casing
My breath writes ghost on window glazing
Shutter steals the quiet hour
[Pre-
Tram bells cut through thick white air
Wings don't flutter, wings don't care
Light cuts thin through iron arches
Dark water swallows fallen stars
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Winter fog has claimed the ridge
Two runaways, one camera eye
Amsterdam in black and white
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Dawn bleeds gray on Prinsengracht
Moth lifts slow, no fanfare, no act
Wings unfold like developed film
First light cuts the canal grim
Negative turns positive now
No tickets left for morning trains
Just wet shoes and developed frames
You laugh loud, I grin wider
Ash on tongue, smoke in the air
Wings beat once, then disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gone before the light gets here
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Winter fog has claimed the ridge
Two runaways, one camera eye
Amsterdam in black and white
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Pale wings sleep beneath the bridge
Print dries slow on bathroom floor
Moth shape pinned beside the door
Next bus leaves at six fifteen
We'll chase the next pale wing scene
Shutter clicks, the moment stays
Camera clicks, the moment stays
Wings beat once, then fly away
