Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain slicked pavement, tired eyes
Graffiti whispers, under neon skies
A workman's hands, worn smooth as bone
He's tracing wires, where the dark is sown
From_Numercial_ :11, in the city's heart
A lone men's voice, beats through the dark
/utility guitar/strums its lonely part
Staccato drums and bass, an after-hours start
Tonight he'll find, the faulty link
Scratch and bends, of steel, of grime
And in the brief, electric sparks
See visions, of his past and future scars
As he climbs, the signal towers high
Where city's hum, meets the midnight sky
His steps echo, through concrete and stone
A solitary figure, deep in the unknown
Midnight flicker, through his fingertips
Currents coursing, ancient city's secrets
Each missed call, a shard of shattered life
In this electric dance, he's invisible tonight
By abandoned tracks, where trains once sang
He picks the lock, on a forgotten gate
The yard's oppressive shroud, where dreams can't range
He savors the silence, after the metal gate
Through wires' hiss, he stumbles on a clue
A discarded phone, with a partly blown view
A photo of her, where her face should be
No name, no hint, of what went wrong, in the sea
As he climbs, the signal towers high
Where city's hum, meets the midnight sky
His steps echo, through concrete and stone
A solitary figure, deep in the unknown
Midnight flicker, through his fingertips
Currents coursing, ancient city's secrets
Each missed call, a shard of shattered life
In this electric dance, he's invisible tonight
In the dark, where shadows play hide and seek
He's a ghost, a specter, an urban freak
But then the sparks, that fly from his hands
Burst like fireworks, in a broken land
Midnight flicker, through his fingertips
Currents coursing, ancient city's secrets
Each missed call, a shard of shattered life
In this electric dance, he's invisible tonight
The workman's hands, now burn with a glow
As he leaves the yard, the towers don't grow old
The midnight flicker, forever in his mind
The city's rhythm, where his story's left behind
