Track Insight / Lyrics
Frayed leather seats, worn out and gray
A rearview of a life that's gone astray
The city sleeps, weary eyes aglow
My wheels are still, the engine's low
In the shadow of the subway's roar
I sit and wait, forlorn and poor
No fare can buy a ticket to escape
From the prison of my rusty shape
Oh, the gears that grind, the wheels that turn
Cold and silent, my heart yearns
For the freedom of a life untamed
But here I rust, in this endless game
Flashes of memories, a kaleidoscope
Fading fast, like neon signs in the snow
Faces blurred, voices distant and hushed
Echoes of a life that's all but glossed
In the shadow of the subway's roar
I sit and wait, forlorn and poor
No fare can buy a ticket to escape
From the prison of my rusty shape
Oh, the gears that grind, the wheels that turn
Cold and silent, my heart yearns
For the freedom of a life untamed
But here I rust, in this endless game
Rough ride, crashing gears, breaking chains
Braking hard, screeching, scraping fenders
Revving low, sputtering, losing steam
Dying out, fading, caught in a dream
Gritty battle riffs, soaring melodic refrains
Blazing harmonic progressions, electric pain
Screaming solos, riffs that rip and tear
Molten metal shreds, the anguish clear
Oh, the gears that grind, the wheels that turn
Cold and silent, my heart yearns
For the freedom of a life untamed
But here I rust, in this endless game
In the shadow of the subway's roar
I sit and wait, forevermore
A rusty relic, lost and alone
My story told, my time overgone
