Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain's bitter sting seeps into worn leather
Moldy scent of old sweat in every crease
Two pairs of gloves, solitary travelers
Through black glass doors, a 24-hour lair
She slips on worn brown
Dipped in industry, dries with grime
Another night washed over her skin
The lonely thrum of the mangle's spin
He dons black silk
Stitches giving way to sunset's fade
Under the bones of his heavy knuckles
The ghosts of a thousand cigarette butts
In the neon's cold light
She'll find him, he'll find her tonight
Under the puddle's reflection's sigh
Two lost souls passing each other by
She's a seamstress' dream, nimble and quick
Racing against time in a world awash in ink
Years of dirt beneath her neatly trimmed nails
Echoes of the lives she's stitched and hailed
He's a sculptor's nightmare, hands of coal
Carving from wood, stone, and broken soul
Tendrils of ivy creep up his worn jeans
As night's shadows twist and dance, unseen
In the neon's cold light
She'll find him, he'll find her tonight
Under the puddle's reflection's sigh
Two lost souls passing each other by
Fingers brush, a fleeting spark
Two lives colliding, a fateful dark
In the whirl of soiled, forgotten clothes
A moment's peace, a heartbeat's pause
[Pre-
Reaching out but never quite connecting
Two worlds apart, a chasm persisting
Still, they linger, ghosts in the rain
Longing to break free, to make some claim
In the neon's cold light
She'll find him, he'll find her tonight
Under the puddle's reflection's sigh
Two lost souls passing each other by
Leather creaks, gloves slip off fingers bare
And with the dawn, their paths diverge, ensnared
In a sea of strangers, alone they'll roam
Their fleeting encounter forever a ghostly home.
