Track Insight / Lyrics
Under highway lights, I make my stand
Leaning hard against the concrete land
Rain and sun have painted me
A witness to the city's life and dream
Lost souls streaming, a distant hum
The rhythm of the restless, the damned, the one
I watch them thinking 'bout their next move
Dreaming of escape, chasing, loving
Permanent observer, steel and rust
Guarding secrets, dusty hearts, a dusty trust
I keep my vigil, through the night and day
A beacon for the weary, the lost, the gray
Photographs blurred, messages in grime
Echoes of memories that refuse to climb
Out of the recesses, into the light
Ghosts of wanderers, with their stories to ignite
Lost souls streaming, a distant hum
The rhythm of the restless, the damned, the one
I watch them thinking 'bout their next move
Dreaming of escape, chasing, loving
Permanent observer, steel and rust
Guarding secrets, dusty hearts, a dusty trust
I keep my vigil, through the night and day
A beacon for the weary, the lost, the gray
Maybe someday, my purpose found
My role in tales, of this pavement bound
Until then, I'll keep the watch
For all who pass, beneath this highway's stretch
Permanent observer, steel and rust
Guarding secrets, dusty hearts, a dusty trust
I keep my vigil, through the night and day
A beacon for the weary, the lost, the gray
Snapshots on a worn frame
Neon splashes, streets alive
A metallic tongue, seasoned time
My tale remains, as the world keeps on grinding.
