Track Insight / Lyrics
Streetlights bleed a silver stain,
Sleet is drumming on my brain.
Red is holding, cold and tight,
Another ghost in fading light.
Thumb hooked tight around the bar,
Watching taillights drift afar.
This old frame, it knows the cost,
Of frozen fingers, nearly lost.
Each slick patch a mirrored gleam,
Reflecting back a broken dream.
Another package, late tonight,
Delivered through the sleeting light.
Slate and steel, a city's sigh,
Wind whips past as moments fly.
Just a messenger, swift and true,
Waiting for the green to break through.
She walked by, a flash of red,
A fleeting warmth inside my head.
Just a glance, a shared cold stare,
A silent promise hanging there.
Headlights cut the hazy gray,
Pushing shadows far away.
This rhythm's etched within my soul,
Another story to unfold.
Slate and steel, a city's sigh,
Wind whips past as moments fly.
Just a messenger, swift and true,
Waiting for the green to break through.
This concrete maze, my winding track,
Every corner turning back.
A fragile warmth, a whispered plea,
For someone, somewhere, to notice me.
The light is changing, amber glow,
Time to ride, time to go.
One last look, one final plea,
Then vanish into the city, me.
Slate and steel, a city's sigh,
Wind whips past as moments fly.
Just a messenger, swift and true,
Waiting for the green to break through.
Slate and steel, a city's cry,
Wind whips past as moments fly.
Just a messenger, swift and true,
Breaking through, breaking through.
Slate and steel... Cold and true…
Sleet falls…
On me and you…
