Track Insight / Lyrics
In the still gray dawn, city's yet asleep
Rail yard stretches far, overcast and deep
A lonely cab stands waiting by a shimmering track
Watching diligently, shadows dance and crack
Silas Jackpot, old and grizzled, careful hands at work
Keys ignite the engine, cab's wheels start to perk
He's got a tale to tell, from the grit of city streets
A life of chance encounters, of persistence and deceit
Rail yard's a refuge, under neon lit nights
When the world spins too fast
he finds solace in the lights
Coastal whispers carried, through symphony of steel
It's where he unloads his cage, where the city's heart does reveal
Phantom wheels hum, secrets they keep
Midnight confessions, freedom they seek
Through the empty yard, a story unfolds
Of a man who's driven, where his heart goes cold
From the cab's worn leather, to the graffitied wall
He's seen it all, from crime to love's bitter fall
He navigates the shadows, through whom he doesn't know
With a heart that's lost its spark, he's grown too weary to go
Rail yard's a refuge, under neon lit nights
When the world spins too fast
he finds solace in the lights
Coastal whispers carried, through symphony of steel
It's where he unloads his cage, where the city's heart does reveal
Phantom wheels hum, secrets they keep
Midnight confessions, freedom they seek
Through the empty yard, a story unfolds
Of a man who's driven, where his heart goes cold
Late night, trains passing, blinking lights ablaze
He's out of place, yet somehow finds his way
In the hum of metal on metal, he finally rests his mind
A lullaby of solitude, a peace so hard to find
Phantom wheels hum, secrets they keep
Midnight confessions, freedom they seek
Through the empty yard, a story unfolds
Of Silas Jackpot, the man who's lost his hold
Dusk descends, at last the day is through
The phantom wheels keep humming, lullaby anew
Silas Jackpot, old and grizzled, a relic of the past
Will they find a purpose, or fade into the vast?
